LPS food?
My 33g is about done cycling and I'll be adding a couple of LPS in the near future. Probably a torch, hammer, frogspawn, bubble coral. Not all at once, but that what I hope to have.
What are some LPS food I need to buy? I keep on seeing mentions on LA, Micro-plankton, brine, etc.. Trying to finish up a free shipping order. Thanks for the help.

When I do spot feed my LPS (not often), I just use whatever I'm feeding my fish. The coral you mention want meaty foods will be just fine with mysis, or whatever frozen food you feed your fish. Shoot... they'll even snag flake food and eat it!

+1 to everything above. I also feed mine finely chopped shrimp and pellet food.

I wouldn't try too hard to feed those corals." key word is too hard "
They will eat slowly, but it's not like other lps that "grab" food, but you will see a change in their appearance if you feed them. Just don't expect to see them grab and eat what you try to feed them like Favia,acans,trumpets, plate corals or even duncans. |

fuana marin ultra lps pellets...I feed it to my scoly, my blastos, krypto candy cane, favia, mummy eye. They instantly open up and grab it. My scoly opens up right away to eat it. Do a search on youtube of it and you will see. I love the stuff.
