You don't need to feed SPS. Keep your water quality pristine and make sure they get the right amount of light.

I agree with ReeferMonkey but if you've got time try growing some phyto and zooplankton. Feed during the night and turn off skimmer. Fish will thank you too for live food. Guess live food is better because it remain alive until eaten.

Having 1 sixline (or other pest eating small wrasse), and snails (perhaps a vegi-type-bleeny too), and a rock rubble refuge (in or out of the tank) for micro critters to do the mombo in are all you need for many SPS IME.

you could cultivate phytoplankton which would increase your live zooplankton population, which then feeds the SPS.

Ever since I started dosing live phytoplankton, my SPS have increased PE and grown almost three times as fast. They also have great coloration! Sure the sps don't eat phtoplankton, but zooplankton does, and they will increase in population like crazy! DO IT!
