Feeding Corals

jgb23 · 01/10/2007, 08:26 AM

I have a combination of LPS, softies, zoos and mushrooms in my tank, along with several fish. When feeding my tank (all animals), I combine bring shrimp and cyclopeeze together , let it defrost, and put it into the tank. I only have 4-5 fish that eat this combination.
My question is do I have to feed my frogspawn, wellsophia, and torch corals directly (with a syringe) or can I just put the cyclopeeze in the tank.

I typically dont shut my powerheads off when I feed. Should I? Also, what about feeding them at night when thier tenticals are extended. I noticed that the frogspawn tends to shrink up at night, so I am not sure if he feeds at night or what.

Thanks for any help

i feed my corals rotifers and daphnia (correct spelling?) i use a turkey blaster and spray it over the corals. the tenticles will generally catch most of the food. i prefer to directly feed them.
