feeding

When is the best time to feed lps corals. Night time or daytime? Using liquid food.

I always like to feed after lights out. However, my lps likes meaty foods. Sometimes I do add some liquid food first so corals open up more and are more ready to eat. This is when I want to feed the other corals at the same time.

I feed at night. If you really want your lps to grow fast and healthy go to your grocery store (Walmart for me ) and get a bag of frozen uncooked shrimp one of the cheapo bags like $5 i think cut it up and feed your lps that and they will grow like mad i use to use mysis brine etc and saw decent growth and coloration but once i started to use the shrimp i had a 1 acan head frag turn into about 9 heads within a months time as well as my frogspawn and torch i have they love it the best part about it one bag will last you about 6-9 mths unlike mysis

So glad to hear what you feed your frogspawn. I just bought one and was feeding it ms. Now I'll try some raw shrimp. Thanks for the info. :israel:

I dose during the day. Understood that at night their looking for particulates but even when I dose during the day they know its feeding time and the mouths open up for din din.

Coldhybrid, how small do you cut the pieces? The size of mysis or do you feed larger chunks? Thanks
