Feeding at night?

[dmbnpj]

I have normally been trying to feed my reef tank( many corals, few fish), during the day while the lights are on. I feed cyclopeeze/DT's phytoplankton/DT's oyster eggs/frozen brine/frozen meaty food/and fish flakes. Is there any better time to feed as far as during the day or night? Just wondering....thanks!

its better if you have night feeding fish or coral, my serpent star likes to eat at night so i feed fish corals during the day and the serpent once a week at night

Definetly depends on what you are feeding. My open brain and favia are usually fed after the lights go out , or preferably in the morning before the lights come on.....that is when they seem to be ready to eat. My torch seems to eat anytime.....my lawnmower blenny and engineer goby tend to eat more in the daytime.

If your corals have feeding tentacles, feed them when they are extended. For me, this is at night.
