coral food suggestions

[Art13]

I have a mix of coral in my tank, one leather, a few zoas, acans, duncans, a couple sps, dendro, favias, open brain, meteor shower. beside the larger ones i can feed mysis and so on, what are a few other types of food i can use for them? I know some can just be left alone but i like to feed and supplement most or all of my coral just because i enjoy it, and if its a nice mix that the larger lps will enjoy as well then even better.

Coral Frenzy is pretty good. I use that for corals that can't eat large meaty foods.

That's the one I was looking at, but I've never used any bottled coral food yet so I was looking for some confirmation on what people use that works

Also there is coral snow, coral smoothie, oyster feast and another one probably getting the name wrong LRS Frenzy.

do you have to spot feed all those bottle foods or just turn off your pumps and just spray near the coral?

I usually turn off the pumps and spot feed most of the stuff in my tank for the larger foods, the smaller stuff i'd imagine the corals would pick out of the column, but it couldn't hurt to spray it at them.

I usually broadcast feed coral frenzy. I've fed coral smoothie spot feeding directly from the bottle. I didn't much care that it was kept in solution. I worry about nitrate and phosphate when I feed it haha

I've used coral smoothie & even the fish go nuts for it. I also use ON Prime Reef frozen on occasion. I never noticed a difference using marine snow. I haven't found coral frenzy by me yet but I always hear good things about it.

I'll try out coral frenzy first, i'm also hoping it eventually pulls my dendro out of his shell. I've had him for about 2 weeks now and still haven't seen him, though i've had him eat, he just kinda pulls the mysis or brine into him. I tried sitting him in a container with food for about an hour and didn't seem like he even tried to peek out.

I feed only during the day so I can watch. Most of my corals know what's coming just by turning off my pumps. Some toss out their tentacles before I even get to the first one. They looooove it lol

Thank you for using Coral Frenzy.

Picked it up from mothers in kzoo. Always happy to use a Michigan product.

well, my coral frenzy came in the other day, i'm really impressed with it, all my lps love it, from the torches and frogspawn to the acans and the zoa's seem to enjoy it as well, it even got my dendro to finally come out of hiding, he's been eating for 3 weeks now but never actually opened up until now.
