Do these corals need Red Sea A and B coral supplement? They are the only ones I have in the tank and wondering if I should dose. I think these corals get all their food from the light so I'm not sure.

Please help
 
My experience is that you can hit them with a lead pipe and they still grow; think expensive supplements are unnecessary. Just make sure your water parameters are good and you'll soon be "harvesting" them to make room for some acans, lobos, scolys, etc.

They need nothing, except light and ok water. Intact most lps won't need anything. They might grow slow, but they don't heed additives. Xenia , gap is almost indestructible.
