My favia is super small, so it doesn’t really have anything to puff out, lol.

You feed it 2 to 3times weekly?

I fed it reef roids on Saturday but other then that no. Scared to feed more don’t want all these algae issues again. But I was looking into LPS pellets

They like meaty foods in the tummy help keep them puffy.

I could try a few mysis ? Or brine shrimp ? What would be better in your opinion lol

Both. Mysis one day, brine next feeding roids 3rd. Rinse and repeat. Turn off water flow, thaw out mysis and take some of the thawed liquid and gently bast the favia with the mysis water. See if it triggers a feeding response.

The favia feeders should begin to expose.

Also, do you have fish who will steal food from it?

I usually get my syringe and poof the left over fine stuff at the favia and digi. I get good feeder tentacles at night, and that’s when I usually feed.

29 gallons, but still. Definitely don’t want to over feed.

It's why I said a little. Can't feed them without the feeders really. They are too lazy to grab food and it will cause a nutrition spike.

What pellets do you have?

Yes on 20 that’s why I’m feeding once a week so I don’t start anything. Untill I get more growth from everything

I personally feed mine NLS. They seem to like them.
