Feed Coral everyday?

Is it beneficial to spot feed coral everyday?

Not really , just dirtys up the tank IMO. Unless you have a ulns once a week is plenty.

I try for 2-3 times a week. I know some of my corals would gladly spot feed everyday.

So if I feed everyday, will that help the coral gain more color and grow more? This is regarding hammer corals

Spot feeding I'd recommend a couple times a week at most. Feeding the fish daily will also give the euphyllia some food as well.

Remember coral produce waste just like a fish. If you have a lot of waste eaters this isn’t much of an issue. My tank for example is riddled with brittle stars, chittons, and bristle worms on top of a clean up crew.

From what I have seen coloring has more to do with lighting and water quality. Feeding them will help with faster tissue growth.

This was the answer I was looking for, thank you!
