I have never "fed" my corals or anemones or clams in my tank. They've been doing just fine with light, flow, and water changes. And I think I have a fairly established reef. Good suggestions there Brad.

I'm also having this type of sps growing litterly everywhere in random places in my tank. Pic doesn't show it but it has green polyp extensions and looks fuzzy. I thought it was my green porcilapora spawning at first but then I notice it was a bit if purple when I cleaned my tank today. Seems to be encrusting not acro type and doesnt branch out like porcillopora and all of them are in a pebble shape.
