so i recently purchased some mushrooms ( a disco, and rhodi) and ive been trying to feed them but they just wont take what i givem. ive tried phytofeast, my fishes frozen food, and flakes but they wont take any of it. also trying to get my favia to eat, im fairly sure its taking some of it in vs nothing like the mushrooms. any suggestions on what to get/ methods to get them to eat?
 
Don't bother. Mushrooms don't need to be fed. Many corals do fine just sucking up organic and inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus from the water. FWIW, feeding corals really should be left to the very experienced aquarist who has a lot of expericne with their corals. With the huge variation between species prefference it's difficult to determine what ot feed one coral and how to do it without causing problems for another coral that has different requirements.
