How do you feed your sps?

[Tagareef]

I use a variety of foods dumped right into my Wavebox. All fishfoods, frozen and pellets. Rotifers, cyclopeeze, DT's and oyster eggs gets dispersed immediately. The fish go nuts! Also when I go on vacation, I mount the auto-feeder with Velcro above the open top Wavebox. This way the food doesn't just float away down the overflow.

The Wavebox is a great wave maker, but excels at administering food as well!

I bought 3 of these fish for the purpose of promoting growth in my stylophora, so far, i see them hosting in the stylophora and in one staghorn coral, both of which have seen VAST improvements in both colour and growth rate since the adding of these fish.

In a way, i bought these fish to feed my coral for me.

I use cyclopeeze mixed with phytofeast and oyster eggs a few times per week after the lights go out - it is amazing - you can watch the sps feed especially on the cyclopeeze as they are easier to see because they are bright red - the polyps will capture them and internalize them - anyone that argues that sps do not feed should see this and they will never disbelieve again

fish poop and light works for me

I am considering putting a mixture of oyster eggs, cyclop eeze, freeze dried rotifers and C-V in the ZC automatic frozen food feeder and have it feed small amounts in the middle of the night with a timer to shut off my skimmer for a few hours afterwards.

I don't know about you guys but my corals don't really start feeding until a few hours into the dark period and I'm vast asleep by then so with manual feeding during the day a lot of the corals would be missing out on the food.

my polyps on everything (acro, monti, montastrea etc) seem to really open way up almost as soon as the lights go out but I have my lights on until pretty late - 10 pm or so so this might have something to do with it - I'm not sure how much the feeding helps as I have not really noticed growth differences yet but have only been doing it for a few weeks or so thus far
