Is there anything special I need to do for my corals and inverts during the fallow period as far as food/additives ?

I would feed a small amount of pellets for the inverts, maybe a little bit of coral food depending on what nutrients in the tank are like.

Test nitrates and phosphates and dont let it get to 0.
If after testing it's getting lower then feed tank like you would if had fish in there but feed s little less.
Keep lights on as normal if corals doing ok.
Make sure cuc got algae on rocks or supply them with food ( when .
Don't add fish until fallow peri.
Then you need make a choice if ever buy any more cuc or even fish ,will you qt everything or not qt and run risk of re- infection ?

Yes.
test and see what nutrients are like.
If your tank is like mine (running 50+ppm nitrate and and .5ppm phos) it might take a while for those to run out and need supplmenting.
