What to feed corals???

jimfed1 · 03/10/2008, 07:19 PM

I have mainly softies, hammer, candy cane, leathers, zooanthids. What should I feed them? I have just been feeding the fish mysis, and letting the corals more or less filter feed, but I rinse the food so there is probably not much the corals get

My bubble coral is shriveling and not looking real good. Is cyclopeeze or phytoplankton good? Give me any and all suggestions. Tell me what is the best food to feed them. I just ordered a Kent feeder that will let me spot feed. I just need to know what to give em.

Thanks

Bubble and hammer are stoney coral and need small meaty bits of food. Cyclops and brine are real good. With the right flow they will collect there food.In your case i may target feed cyclops with flow off for an hour or so for a week or so.This may help.
