Coral feeding

[chris88]

Its true anemones can be a bit picky in new tanks. Zoanthids do not have to be feed, in fact most corals do not have to be spot feed but it does increase thier health and growth rates. I have a hard time feeding zoas but palys feed very easy. Feeding in my opinion is for certain lps like brains, duncans, candycanes, etc and sps can have increased growth and color from feeding as well. Its hard to find that balance of feeding enought o help the animals and not to much to make the water quality bad.

I feed sps corals : coral frenzy, rotifers, cyclops
I feed lps corals: mysis, brine, pellets
I feed plays: pellets, mysis, and brine

I feed a lot when a colony is just starting out or if it doesnt look full, and i slow down the feeding when the colony fattens up and looks plump.
