Default When to feed new corals

Hello everyone,

What our your thoughts when it comes to feeding new corals in your tank?

I recently purchased some lps corals a couple days ago, when should I start feeding them?

I'll do reef roads with a turkey baster once a month, with my frogs pawn, brain,hammer, and gorgonia being targeted directly.

Nothing beats good water and light quality though.

I never feed mine either. I tried for a while but never really saw a difference and really my shrimp would just steal the food before the coral could eat them.

I dose amino acids once a month. I don't know why. It was suggested by the person I bought them from.
