The problem you really run into is that the term coral encompasses a vast assortment of highly specialized organisms. What an open brain eats is going to be different than what a Pavona coral eats which will be different from what zoanthids eat ect... Any particular species/ classification of coral you want to know?

Many advocate that the combination of fish waste and detritus work as the best food for coral but again we are talking about a phylum with well over 1250 different species in it.

Good Evening! We make our own food from fresh seafood that we pick up at the grocery store. There are many different recipes on line, so you can easily find one that you think suites your tank.

Get Piscene Energetics (PE) Frozen Mysis Shrimp. You can feed it to your hammer, frogspawn, bubble and acan. Your other corals don't need direct feeding.
