Except for NPS, corals can get all of the energy that they need from the light, so have the best light possible.
It is as good as anything for NPS, 'nems and stuff that can eat it. For corals that like smaller particle sizes, then it probably won't do much good, but there is little evidence that even the really small stuff does anything.

His Trump coral's gonna get yuge, just yuge, belieeeeeve me.Buddy of mine feeds his Trump coral with it, does that seem ok?
I had a green gonipora for about a decade back when they were nearly impossible. It never got fed. Although I think that it might have appreciated some food and probably caught some on it's own, it never needed it and grew to the size of a basketball. We did have better and more lighting back then than most people have now. I tend to believe Veron when he said that all non-NPS corals have adapted to not need to catch food... he seemed to know what he was talking about.
Also, you have no way of knowing if what they can digest and get nutrition out of what they are eating. Most corals catch live rotifer sized food in the wild - what you are feeding them is not this. Also, a polyps first job is for gas exchange and increased surface area for zoox, not to catch food, but they do both.
People in the hobby have been condition to believe that they are helping their corals by feeding them all of this coral food and that makes them feel good. If you remove the crap from the people making the coral food and then the parroting and false rhetoric from word of mouth and message board posts, there is absolutely no evidence that you need to feed a PS coral at all. You can if you want if it makes you feel better, but the many people who do not have the same healthy and growth rates.
