I read that amino acids should be plentiful in the food. Mysis shrimp are a great source of amino acids (protein). I got some mysis from James that are 79% protein. The fish love them and I get some serious polyp extension when ever I feed it.

Well, the fish have to eat it and then process it and poop it out before the coral get it

but Salifert made one that has the same amino acid found in the coral skeleton

I've been reading about people adding aminos and stuff like creatine to help their corals. I saw a thread in the advanced aquarists forum about a guy trying a few different kinds of aminos and actually selling his mix to experiment with for very cheap.
