I feed mine once a week with reef roids, seem to make them happy. All of these were about half dollar size when I got them, except the red one is the oldest one that was the size of a nickel 2 years ago.

red one now fully open is about the size of a volleyball. Skeleton is softball size.

I’ve got some coral frenzy and Kent marine microvert that I’ve been trying, not sure if that’s similar. Your corals are beautiful!

Thanks, but based on a quick search. They are different, but not sure that it matters if it is formulated to feed corals. I recently started to mix BRS spirulina powder with my reef roid mix, but doesn't seem to make a difference. No real update tho.
