Ever since i started I've been using kent phyto-feast to feed my corals, but I'm thinking of switching to something better, preferably from reef nutrition. My tank is majority soft corals, with the exception of a monti cap, long tenatcle plate coral, and a cup coral colony. Is there anything from reef nutrition than can be used for both lps and softies, and still provide adequate feedings for both?
Roti-Feast, Arcti-Pods, Tigger-Pods? whats my best option?

About once a week I feed some of my LPS mysis shrimp. The ones that have feeding tentacles. They plump up more than usual for a few days after.

I don't use Ocean Nutrition, but I do use Coral Frenzy and Reef Roids. I have SPS as well though.

ReefRoids are also good choice for coral , it is very good particle size for LPS and was designed for Goniopora.
Zeo mulm is good for SPS feeding.

I'll try coral frenzy, arctic-pods caught my eye at first though, i'm pretty sure that kent phyto-feast is ''dead', so wanna switch it up, gonna start stocking up on sps again, and i know that they need better quality stuff like oyster eggs, thanks again guys

The biggest difference is particle size between Reef Roids and Coral Frenzy. If I were to feed only one it would be Coral Frenzy as the particle size range is huge from 53-1700 microns. Even small fish will eat Coral Frenzy. Where Reef Roids particle size is limited to only 150-200 microns.
