Variety is usually best. Coral type will also come into play; for example, acans can devour fairly large chunks, whereas goniopora require tiny foods such as oyster eggs, rotifers, and "juices" from other frozens. SPS obviously would take very small foods, if you decide to feed them at all.

I broadcast feed nowadays. Too lazy to spot feed. I try and mix it up and ise a variety. Use the dry powdery stuff like:
ReefRoids
Fauna Marin Zoa/Acan Food
Reef Pearls
Reef Chili
Coral Frenzy

I feed a variety of foods. I spot feed and sort of broadcast feed with a brine/mysis combo, I will also spot feed with Goniopower, I broadcast feed Reef Roids, oh and spot feed Fauna Marin LPS pellets. I think it really depends on who you are and what corals you have. Some people hate spot feeding, some people like it. Some corals don't like being spot fed, some are big piglet babies and depend on it.

Nothing
I only feed my fish, the corals get what the fish miss and what the system itself produces in dissolved nutrients, detritus, bacteria, micro inverts, and plankton

I love Reef Pearls! Corals seem to respond well to it and my skimmer pulls it from the water column within 15 minutes. It is extremely high in protein.

I try to rotate reef chili, rods, reef-roids, and coral ecstasy, so that if one coral like one food better than another, or, one has something the others don't it all goes through in a week or 2 ...so not sure how to answer the poll....but just my 2 cents
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
