I am giving as honest of a review as I can. I promised I would.
This wont be for everyone, as not everyone even feeds their coral.
However for those of you looking for something to add to the pantry, give coral candy a look into.
I use reef roids, mysis, shredded raw shrimp, sometimes just a mix of sea food to feed the hungry. However, some of my corals wont give out feeders and those meaty bits are easily stolen and on a high priority watch by the fish.
onto my review.
Goniopra absolutely has loved this blend. I have one hammer coral that actually eats this stuff. Otherwise they wont eat anything anyhow. I failed at taking any pictures for this, very difficult angle.
Perhaps pictures can speak for me.
Before I fed the corals. I am not posting all of them, as that is a lot of pictures.

This one is very greedy. The candy was gone and devoured after I was done finishing the target feedings.

Don't worry, he's digesting and currently looking like this.

Can't see the food really. But it's there.

I did do a short time lapse and an incomplete one of feeding the blasto. My little one decided it was his turn for a snack.


I don't believe they are hiding anything. Corals are happy, gonis take well to the food. No one seems to reject this.

Here's the ingredients.

Have any questions, I will do my best to answer. If I have an answer.

I have only used this twice now. So, not a lot of information to really give just yet.

I also have this guy, not extending well.
I have been feeding this goni reef roids, but hasn't helped much.
We'll see how the candy goes.

I was considering picking up some of this. Still going good? I'm mainly looking for my Acans and Gonis.

The big green one ended up with infection I couldn't stop. Iodine and witch hazel dips, did nothing. Urchin kept removing pink gonis off of the rocks, 1 missing. 1 pink with recession and 1 green who's almost been with me 2 years.

I'm thinking it's about time to rehome my sand spitting wrasse. He's caused a lot of coral issues. That's most likely the reason the bigger colony got infected. Wrasse likes to spit sand on the coral.
As far as the acans go. My cbb seems to love to eat new buds. It cant be helped. Otherwise, everyone still loves the candy.
