oyster eggs for sps corals


Anybody tried feeding with oyster eggs? Any experience with this? Is it loaded with phosphate or worth a try?

I've heard some good reviews on them but never tried them myself. We sell them where I work so I've thought about trying them.

I've tried them, and liked them, but I found when I fed them too much I tended to get acro blisters.

I stopped using them because I didn't feel they were nessessary but I would use them again if I stopped using cyclopeze. They do have plenty of phosphate, but any food does, if your filtration is up to the task I say try them and see if you get a positive difference in the look of your coral

I've tried feeding cyclopeeze too, bt I just add a small pinch to the tank. Should I be feeding a lot more than that?

the dt's oyster eggs are much smaller than cyclopeeze, easier feeding for montipora. I feed both oe and cyclopeeze and get great pe. I like the idea of variety.

small pinch after lights out should be plenty. i feed about the same amount of cyclopeeze as i do oyster eggs on alternate days.
