The benifit is huge. first, it's not really the corals that will eat phyto but the zooplankton. By feeding phyto you will effectively feed the zooplankton and thus the corals.
It is the very base of the food chain, and without it there is not much pods or zooplankton that will thrive in your tank.
It is the only thing that clams eat, and it must be alive for them to eat it as they reject dead phyto.
Feeding phyto is the best way to make a healthy pod population grow.
