Do you need to feed LPS corals?

[Shilpan Patel]

Hey guys I have some LPS corals going through a 45 day quarantine. Do you need to feed them? Or can they survive without being fed?

I bought some LPS pellets for them. Also can you overfeed them?? What happens if I say fed them every single day instead of once a week?

Following... I think it depends on the coral. What kinds do you have in QT?

Ok so I’m still learning but 1. Acan echinata, 2. A blastomussa and 3. Some sort of green brain thing which has heaps and heaps of sweeper tentacles and when I put pellets on it lots of tiny tentacles come out.

This thing, someone earlier suggested it maybe a chalice coral

They dont need to be fed directly. They obviously have light but they will also feed on fish food, waste and nutrients. Feeding can definitely be beneficial for growth.
