tlmack,

I use mysids all the time and find they do get consumed but I get reactions like those in the article.

If your corals haven't eaten for a while they may be lacking some energy and their reaction to food may have changed. Keep at it and you will eventually get some reaction. You only need to get a couple of polyps to feed to get things started.

KBzreef,

I would like to be feeding my corals every couple of days but as I have 8 tanks with corals that need to be fed, each coral is lucky to be fed once per week.

ladipyg,

I actually tried squirting the "food juice" directly on the corals with a turkey baster with no effect. My tanks do have a lot of water flow so I assume it was blown away from the corals very quickly. Maybe I should try with the powerheads off and see if I get a reaction.
