Rotifer enrichment

I have read that rotifers arent nutritional unless fed right. Mainly I am thinking of culturing rotifers for my corals, and was wondering aside from feeding phyto should I alsO use selco ? I know selco would benefit the fish but not sure if itll do any good for the coral also. If so, how long should i wait before Feeding the corals after adding selco ?
And what other types of enrichment do you reefers out there use if it's not selco..
 
Selco is used to mimic the nutritional profiles of phytoplankton.
Rotifer cultures are usually fed with Nannochloropsis. This microalgae does not meet the nutritional profile of fatty acids and that is why the Selco used.
If you have access to good quality phytoplankton, use the following proportions:
40% Nannochloropsis
10% Tetraselmis
Isochrysis 50%.
These ratios refer to dry weight. It is impossible to live phytoplankton data as concentration dependent cell culture.

Sorry for this horrible English but I am using the google translator
