What do you feed your corals...
 
I'm always interested in the different varieties of food used to feed coral.

What do you feed your soft corals?
Target feed or not?

Ive had some luck with oyster eggs and I throw in pytho, rotifers and mysid shrimp (realy not for the corals)

Kent makes a liquid phytoplanktin that you just add like once a week or once every two weeks.....

or you can target feed it mysis or brine shrimp...

all up to you

Phytoplankton is the most natural food source for soft corals as most are not able to hold on to zooplankton. Any kind of seaweed is good also as it contains iodine that the soft coral can use.

Marine snow, Mysis shrimp and little pieces of regular shrimp.

Target feed DT's and throw in some cyclop-eeze. The fish and Corals go nuts for the latter.

We grow our own Phytoplankton and live Rotifers. But I also feed cyclopeez and target feed mysis.

I do not direct feed any more. I only clean the glass with a magnetic cleaner and feed the fish flake food.
