Default adding live rotifers to tank?

I recently started a culture of rotifers. My tank is a 80g display with a mix of different corals. I was wondering how often and how much live rotifers you add to your tanks? Thanks for the advice.

I used to add about a million once or twice a week, but I never noticed any difference in the tank, so I stopped doing it.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your reason for adding them?

Really not much of a difference at all. Not worth the time. Rotifiers are generally for breeders
