You can try DT's oyster eggs, but phyto is not needed for SPS.

uh oh lol.. what do i feed them then?

Light, and lots of it.

I went through the feeding thing for two years, theory was phyto fed the other critters and they fed the corals. now after a year with out feeding the corals but giving them lots of light , they have never looked better. from reading I have decided that SPS get 98%+ of there food from the light and algae inside the coral, the remander they adsorb from the water colume. now my LPS I do feed once a month and they get either BBS or frozen plankton.

weird, what i just read it said they get 60-70% from light. but, if you have em doin good after year, you're doing something right.

well the phyto sure has helped, its so interesting just to watch the thousands of pods in my tank.... this is actually the first time i've had a tank running for more than 2months..... its kinda cool to see the the coraline, pods and such develop.

well i'm going to get some cyclop-eeze soon. what exactly are rotifers?

Try some frozen cyclopeeze from here:

www.canadianmarineaquariumsupply.com

They are having a closing out sale with only 13 days left. Plus you get 70% off product. Even if you have to pay for UPS Expedited shipping that works out to a damn good deal.

Might even consider buying some with you.
