Do sps eat live Rotifers?

[BZos106]

I’ve been thinking of culturing live Phytoplankton Along with live Rotifers? I read that most sps don’t benifit from phytoplankton but I cant find much info on wether or not they benifit from live Rotifers. Do sps eat Rotifers? I’m just wondering what people think and Is it worth the effort ??

I would think they do, but I'm not sure. @Tomoko Schum may be able to help answer that if they are around.

My sps never looked better than when I used to add rots to the tank. I had clown babies at the time, so rots were plentiful. I will not culture them for sps only, too much hassle. Get nanno3600 from reedmariculture not to waste even more time on phyto.

Even if they capture them, are you sure that the energy to capture is not more than what they get? There is a lot of debate about all of this.

I do not think they capture them. I spent some time looking :). I do believe that live rots contribute to greater biodiversity one way or the other.
