My fish have velvet so I set up a quarantine tank and removed them. Staring copper treatment on them. My question is what are people doing for the display tank are you feeding coral and inverts? How often do you feed? I don't feed before.

You probably still want to feed your corals, yes. Things like Red Sea AB+, Reef Roids, etc. are all good. How often you feed (and how much) depends on the size of the tank, the amount of corals, etc. But most products will have some initial suggestions on the packaging/bottle.

Depending on the inverts and amount of algae you have in your tank, you may want to feed your inverts too; if you have omnivorous or carnivorous inverts, or if you don't have much algae for them to eat, then you would want to feed them - I'd personally feed any necessary inverts at least once a day.

Pour the juice from the frozen food that you are feeding your fish in there. Ammonium for nitrogen and some flake food for your crabs/inverts are good to add.
