Feeding coral

[skraj011]

I’m newish to coral, have mostly LPS, gonis more than anything. What should I be feeding them to optimize growth and health? I order reefroids. Is that adequate in Addition to good lighting?

I used to make a slurry of Rods frozen foods, and pellets. I would then feed the fish. Once I saw a feeding response from the LPS I would use a turkey baster and directly feed the corals. You can turn off the flow for a short time while feeding. Typically it can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes for the LPS to exhibit a feeding response after you introduce the food to the fish. Don't over feed, remember to turn flow back on.

And don’t forget flow. It is underrated and you need good flow too.

I don't feed nothing special. They get food that I feed the fish and fish poop.
