Aren't reef roids meant more for zoas and lps etc. I didn't think it was meant for SPS.

I feed mine on a rotational basis a variety of Phytoplanktons, also reef-roids, cyclopeze, "combo-vital", and oyster eggs. I often mix up a batch of the works and store it in the fridge and give them a little squirt of that. I generally feed every second night or so.

LIGHT, is what I feed my SPS. everyonce and a while I jump on the fad bandwagon and try some food, but I have neever seen it make a difference.

If sps only need to feed on light, why do they ( acro's for example) extend their polyps when the lights are out? I just assumed they were feeding. Why do some of the other sps (mycedium (spelling?) for example) send out sweepers? Is it only to attack other corals? I thought they are trying to feed as well.
I have experimented with feeding and not feeding and it seems my coral's get brighter, look healthier and grow faster when I feed. Is it my imagination? Please tell me if I am wrong. If I am wrong I'll not bother feeding them and start saving some loot.

They can and will survive on light alone. (if it's bright enough)
However in the wild they actually recieve more energy from 'eating' than from light. |
