If this food touches the corals in a reef tank, will it kill the corals?

I think it's only if they ingest the food

Yep
Yes only if ingested. As it's suggested to do new carbon and feed sparingly.
On another note, it's not an inexpensive food. It's like paying for medicine and food but at the same time. It does however have a pretty good shelflife. I think current stock expires December 2017. Each medicinal food comes in 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm sizes too |

dosage
My question with this kind of foods is about dosage. For chloroquine or metro to work properly, you have to have the correct dosage. How can you make sure your fish have enough medication? Or in an unlikely event, too much?

Well, they say feed no more than twice per day, and for a certain number of days in a row. Probably most fish will get more med than necessary I'd think, but still not at a toxic level. For example, both of these meds in humans aren't really toxic unless the dose is many times higher than the therapeutic dose.

Pre mixed
I've been mixing my own chloroquine into food using agar and fish food mix, but definitely like the idea of premixed. I'll be looking for it today! My hippo has ich for the first time :-(
