has any one used " cyclop-eez" ?

Hey guys and gals, just picked up a frozen food " cyclop-eez" .
Has any one used this product for feeding your corals? A little bit goes a long way. They are big enough for small fish (My fish love it) and hopefully small enough for for corals.
Looks promising but would love to have some feedback!

A lot of people feed corals with it... I use it about once a week. Fish love it too.

to feed corals with it, i place it in a small bottle (used titrant bottle) with a small amount of RO/DI and shake it untill its disolved. i use a syringe to target feed with all flow off for 15 minutes. have a great day,

I have used the frozen "Freezer Bar" version for a couple of years with great success.

Oop's, it's called Liguidlife marine plankton. Cyclop-eze is the only ingredient.
