Amino acid = food?

[blkhawk10]

I've been trying to figure out if corals use amino acids like food. I bought some of brightwell aquatics coral amino the other day, and I can't figure out whether I should still dose my oyster feast and zooplankton.

I do not believe it's meant to replace normal coral "food", I believe it's more of a "vitamin" to them.
