LPS feeding question

[msaba]

Hey guys,

been reefing for a few years, and lately after moving to mostly as SPS tank with a few LPS, I was thinking of individually feeding the latter. My question is, when I feed the individual corallites or mouths, does that feed the whole coral, or is there reason to feed as many of the mouths as possible. If the answer in part depends on the species etc, I believe the 2 lps in question are a Syphyllia Wilsonii and a Ouphyllia. thanks for your suggestions.

With corals that have tissue between polyps or mouths, feeding each and every mouth is not necessary.

Correct most lps share the food via tunnels throughout the skeleton.
