What does my chalice want to eat?

[reefboarder]

Does any one target feed their chalices? If so What are you using? Has anyone experienced noticeable results from feeding/not feeding. Mine has some serious sweepers and I am thinking of adding it to my list of corals to target at lights out.

turn a powerhead off and that should be enough for many chalices to be able to eat at any time. and yes they grow faster IME

I feed my corals once a week with marine snow and spot feed all the LPS mysis except the duncan. That thing grows wild when I feed it like 2 heads in one week. No room for growth like that lol I also shut down all flow when feeding and leave it off for like a half to one hour.

So would coral frenzy or cyclops do the trick? The eyes look big enough for brine but I haven't heard or seen anyone feeding them meaty foods.

Yes those would work just do not over feed. I have an alien eye that I spot feed mysis loves it. I have seen its feeders whack one floating by and pull it to it's mouth

I normally feed mysis and brine to my echinos/chalices. The brine I found is easier to get them to hold on to it and growth deffinatly improves alot.
