frogspawn and torch feeding question

What is best for these guys. Should I use the photoplankton or is there somthing better? I was told also to use freez dried krill and fed each stalk like an anemone

I havent ever fed my torch either. I think the mysis etc I feed my fish is consumed by the corals also.

They won't eat phytoplankton directly, although it'd encourage small animals that are edible. Some food like mysis or other marine prey would be fine. The food should be small enough for the coral to ingest it.

Thanks for all the input. Reason I ask All my levels are great cal. Alittle high at 490 but besides that all is perfect. I ask because it is not as wow as it was. The neon green tips are now a yellowish green. It's growing great just looks almost alittle bleached.
