Coral Nutrition???


Okay I have been doing some reading and feel alerted to give my corals food, other than light. I tried doign some specific reading but had some minor trouble finding examples of such foods. From what I did find for examples were products like "Golden Pearls", and different versions(brands) of phytoplankton. What do you all feed your corals and why? Thanks everyone!

What kind of corals are you trying to feed? Not all corals eat the same thing so you run the risk of overwhelming your tank with nutrients by broadcast feeding.

Most people tend to only target feed the LPS like open brains, etc. and non-photo corals like Tubastrea (sun corals) and let the other corals pick up the scraps from feeding the fish, especially when feeding a high-quality food like home made blender mush.

I feed phytoplankton about twice a week, some times once. But I feed fish only every other day.
