What do you feed them? How often?

 

[ek9vboi]

nothing.

 

[DonavonsReef]

Big chunks of shrimp.

 

[PufferFish87]

I dont feed mine either they occasionally will catch somthing when I feed the tank but thats about it.

 

[Blazer88]

I spot feed mine Mysis every now and then. They don't have a problem gobbling up a whole piece.

nothing.

Ive tried feeding them mysis and they grab it and eventually let go.
I just don't bother anymore. I rarely ever feed any of my corals.
I do feed my fish and they might get some flakes from that.

of everything i have to offer, mine eat mysis the best, brine shrimp (live adults included), reef plankton and cyclopeze.

i use a 80 watt pc light so i feel feeding is nessesary.

soon to upgrade to 4x 39 watt t5s and i dont think ill have to feed them ever but just because its fun i probly will feed them often.

for now i dont feed my fish but instead feed my lps, anemone, and rics and the fish eat anything that is missed or blown away.

My Ricordia will not close up on any food, Why is that?

 

[ek9vboi]

its normal, i tried to feed mine about 102318219 times and they are slow to react. as long as u have decent to good lighting u dont need to feed.

I've had mucho success with a combination of DT's oyster eggs and cyclopeeze... they cast those mucous nets and rope the suckers in, it's awesome.

i turn off the water flow 1 or 2 times a week and hand feed chunks of krill, mysis, and brin to the smaller polyps... ive noticed the yumas hold on to the food a bit better then the floridas... dont know why though.
