Feeding your Coral

[Namyar]

So I recently have started feeding my coral. The suggested food was cyclop - eeze (frozen bar) now I did feed them once already they went nuts tenticles outmouths open. So I guess I was wondering how often should I be feeding them. Please any help would be appreciated.

WHat I've seen, the lps are pretty well bottomless---but remember what they throw out when done the tank has to absorb; don't get too crazy.

Be careful to not over-feed. All that micro-sized food is extremely easy to overdose. Best to figure a way to consistently dose the product in question, than say, take a chunk here and a chunk there.
You can feed as often as you would like... but excessive nutrients will quickly turn up as nuisance algae in your tank. I find the 'stuff' lags my 'over-feeding' by about 2-3 days.
To put some easy numbers in place, try feeding once a week, and see how the tank reacts. If all's well after a month, jump it up to twice a week... I would not feed Cyclopeeze or the like to my own tank more than once a day, unless I had a specific reason (Dendronepthea, young fish, etc.)
