Okay so I usually feed my corals every 3 days or so but have been battling Dino’s recently so I haven’t feed them much in the last month. I just finished a 3 day blackout and my euphyllia are looking much better already!

I’m just not sure if I should let them acclimate to the lights again for a little or feed them tonight. I’m starting lights at 20% of normal schedule and working to 100% over a weeks time. Hammer hasn’t lost any tissue but frogspawn has lost 90% of its tissue almost up to the heads.

Euphyllia now

I'd feed them...if they don't want the food, they won't take it.
 
During dino and blackout- By all means feed the fish as it raises nutrients.

I always fed my fish but I stoped feeding corals reefroids as I heard it will fuel Dino’s.


I just fed them and hammer eat with vigor but frogspawn didn’t eat much if any.
