LPS food?

[mitlik1]

I was wondering what people use to feed LPS. I have a brain coral, Trachyphyllia geoffroyi, and two candy canes and one trumpet Caulastrea furcata. Also, I notice their tenacles come out when the lights go out. Do people feed at night, first thing in the morning, or noon?
Thanks for the help!

Pretty much any sort of meaty food is acceptable. Usually feeding shortly after lights-out works well.

i use a mixture of mysis, cyclopeez, rotifeast and xtreme garlic (it has trace elements as well as being super concentrated). i get a great feeding response.

I feed my torch brine soaked in phyto after lights go out..

Coral chili minutes before the lights go out. Garlic extreme 20 minutes before feeding gets them all excited. Coral chili is competitively priced and contains a wide variety of food. It replaced a lot of frozen and liquid concentrates.

My LPS that actually open open whenever food is introduced into the tank. I feed based on how large the polyps are. Cyclopeeze out of a syringe works for all and is extremely easy, enriched brine shrimp go to micros, smaller sun coral polyps, a favia brain, a small candy cane, and two chalice corals, and large mysis for my large cany canes, acans, lobophyllia, etc.

Thanks for the awesome advice, where do people buy cyclopeeze? I have been feeding kent pyhto, chromaplex, and reef bugs and they open for these foods. Also, do people feed every day, once a week?

Whatever your system can handle. Since most don't need to be fed, you can feed as much as you want so long as your water remains w/in specs
