Can you use fish food as coral food?

[MrPatel]

I bought some Coral food recently for my Duncan and Zoas (And whatever else I might end up buying later). I couldn't help but to notice that the ingredients are almost the same as the flake food I feed my clownfish. %Protein, %Fat and %Fiber are within a few percent of one another. The added vitamins are similar. The only thing I see in the coral food that isn't in the fish food is Xanthan Gum. Which I suppose is there if you want to spot feed instead of dispersion feed.

Any reason why I can't just powderize my fish food, mix it with aquarium water (and maybe a little xanthan gum) and give it to my corals? Not to mention it saves money and space not having to buy two products that can do the same thing.

I only feed my softies/lps fish food. They seem to be doing just fine.

No reason that won’t work.
Just keep an eye on your nutrients

Same. I just fed a bunch of acan frags fish pellets about 20 minutes ago.
