feeding corals

What corals need to be fed or spot fed?

you can spot feed your lps if you want but your sun corals really require it .... you should just add zoo/phyto into the water column while your skimmer is off ...... the corals that extend their polyps to catch food will take care of themselves ... I think I remember you having acans those corals grow faster if you spot feed them and some others will too

I use a turkey baster to feed with, give a squirt in the general direction of the frogspawn that feeds it and distracts the clowns then give the sun coral and other LPS a shot. I have seen my SPS with cyclops in its polyps so I guess it is eating that along with the phyto. I mix mysis, daphnia, cyclop-eeze and marine S together.

I feed my sun coral almost everyday just because I like to see it eat. I just recently learned to feed the RBTA which was neat to watch. I didn't know the frog spawn would grab also. I'll watch that. So I do need to turn skimmer off to add phyto? How long should it be off? Do I add phyto in the top or in the sump?

I TURN MINE OF FOR LIKE 10-15 MINUTES

I feed my plate coral small pieces of krill.
