Feeding Corals

[President Evil]

Hi
I have a few LPS corals, and I was reading that some people are feeding corals with tubes, plastic bottles etc...
I was wondering if I really need to do that, because I don't have alot of corals, and I am already feeding my fish Mysis shrimp, Brine shrimp, and Cyclops.
Shouldnt the small particles and juices left over from what the fishes eat be enough for these for the corals to sift through.

Need to - No but it does help but only some will respond to target feeding....

No you really dont need to feed (or target feed) your corals. They do fine eating what you feed now. My lps are fine eating the mysis, krill, and flakes I vary during feedings and the nutrients within the water column.

You can check if your corals require target feeding, if not your light should be enough. I feed mine occasionally, it helps them grow.

I Like target feeding. I have seen faster growth with them you can actually just do it when you feed your tank. Just use a turkey baster and suck the shrimp in that then poke it near the mouth of your coral and let it go.
