This is NOT about broadcast feeding, like adding foods to the water column. This QOTD is about spot feeding or direct feeding!
Corals like to eat and it's pretty intriguing to watch certain corals gobble up food we directly feed them. They extend those long tentacles or tiny flowery-like polyps and you can't help but want to give them something to snack on. But with a tank full of corals, or with limited hobby time, for many, directly feeding their corals is not feasible. But is it more beneficial if you do spot feed? Will your corals grow faster and be more healthy? Let's talk about it today!
1. Do you spot feed any of your corals and if so which types?
2. Do you notice that the corals you feed directly grow faster and generally seem healthier?
3. What types of food do you spot feed your corals?
