While it is claimed that photosynthetic corals can derive 80% of their nutrition from their zooxanthellae, is there a document that sorts corals by their natural and the artificial snack preference?
Which want phytoplankton, which want fish feces, which will eat reef-roids and small foods, and ones that want big bites, and those that are picky eaters?
While my dataset is so small to be more a belief, one of my corals appeared to grow once copepods and phytoplankton dosing began.
Utterly ignored reef-roids.
I would claim green star polyps love reef-roids. Or just irritated? They respond even to broadcast feeding.
Some corals might just find them irritating.
Even the different zoas seem to have a different response to reef-roids.
I assume even similar corals might have a significant difference in food choices, like any diverse family.
Hammer won't even consume little bites of shrimp (wants something meaty from Shake Shack?)
Fish food? Food fish?
-Big Mistake
