what are you feeding your corals?

Mine eat fish poop too with the exception of two open brain corals who get New Era LPS pellets otherwise they bleach.

Remember, the more you feed your corals, the more they poop. Yes, corals poop too which means more nutrients. Imo, don't feed unless you have to.

so if we are talking about feeding, than lets also ask, do you experiance in coral growth and development/color when you feed ore not feed.

I never fed my corals, maybr once in a while, but always wondered, if I should do more, ore not

even feeding the green algea, I considdered, but as culturing them is a big hassle, I never got to that, as I did not know it there was lots of added benefit

so if you write that you feed, pleas also incloud your experiance with the development part, thanks

I found my Duncan coral grew much faster when I fed it a few mysis a few times a week. Same with RBTAs. Nothing else grows any faster or has any color changes in my tank (brains, Candy canes, Acans, Euphyllia).

Acan Plus to my acans every 2 - 4 days. Mysis once a week unless I feel like treating the fish too twice a week. I dont feed the zoas or the hammer but I am sure they grab what they can after the pumps scream back on.

With acan plus I have noticed my acans really have grown and are especially puffed up the day after feeding

I feed my softies fuel by aquavitro, a d everybody else daphnia, live bbs, and sometimes I mix marine snow in.

I don't feed anything but the fish. My tank is doing better now than any other tank I've had where I did feed the corals.
Personally, I think feeding corals is a waste of money and adds extra nutrients to an environment that I'm trying to keep low nutrient.

honestly, whether it's a good idea or bad, it's too early in your tank to be worrying about it. Get your levels right, add a fish or two, crack a beer, relax and watch the tank.
