soft coral food

[jbittner]

What foods do you use directly or indirectly for your corals?

I currently feed
Mysis
cyclopeeze
and seaweed

What type of corals?

For soft corals with small polyps (zoas, leathers) I feed DT's phytoplankton and some frozen cyclopeeze.

For LPS, mushrooms, and bigger polyps I spot feed chopped frozen mysis shrimp.

I can't imagine any corals that would eat seaweed, but I don't know for sure.

I was just listing what I feed my tank. I do not target feed anything.

For soft corals, a good phytoplankton product like DT's is often a good choice. Some of the zoanthids will take solid food as well. Xenia can't take up phytoplankton or solid food directly.

I use variations on this recipe to make a coral and fish food:

I substitute frozen foods for most of the flake.
