Fish and corals that like meaty foods will go nuts for it.

Thanks for your post!

Could it replace Liquid Life Coral Plankton? I'm out and have heard good things about cyclopeeze.

I don't know what liquid life coral plankton is, so maybe. It all depends on what the liquid life was used for. Most corals are pretty picky about the size of the food. Corals that eat a lot of meaty foods are less picky than other corals.

What type corals are you intending to feed? Cyclop-eez is a good target feeding food. I don't think your corals will get much if you just drop it in the water. Your fish will eat it all. You'll need to re-hydrate some in a turkey baster and shoot it directly at the coral.

They make flake food but they call them waffers.

The can you showed is very small grains. You can squeeze it between your fingers to mash it into a larger clump if you want to feed it to fish.

They also make a frozen bar.

I dont think they will benefit that much from the cyclop-eeze. The RBTA likes larger things like Krill/Silversides and the others are more photosynthetic as far as I know. The only Zoa's I have that eat it are palythoas (spelling?).

The RBTA might eat it if you get it into larger clumps. I feed mine thawed krill. The zoanthids would likely eat it, and the frogspawn might. I've got friends whe feed thier frogspawn, mine won't eat anything.
