Do you have to direct feed Blastomussa Merletti?

falconut · 02/02/2006, 11:47 AM

The title says it all. I feed my fish once a day, a mix of prime reef flakes, frozen mysis, frozen brine. Would it catch some of that or do I have to direct feed each polyp? I have 250 W MH's, 1 on each side of my 90. No experience with these, so any advise would be helpful.

Thanks,

I have a few individual polyps of merletti. I target feed them whenever I feed the other LPS. Once a week with some mysis/borneman mush.

I don't feed any of mine at all other than with the fish food they cath, and they still grow like crazy

I feed my tank liquid foods so that is what is feeds on, but i dont' target feed, i do see that they catch cyclops eeze from the water colum.

I feed my merletti's cyclopeeze, but they really don't need anything. In your tank with the halides i would also suggest starting them out low in the tank, as they will prob have to adjust.

I target feed my merletis 2-3 a week with cyclopeeze.
