Galaxia feeding
Have new 120, just introduced my first corals, two zoa's and a galaxia. My question, does the galaxia need feeding, have read where it does, if so, what??????? See, am a real newbie. All paraments are fine by the way. Thanks.

I don't feed mine anything in particular and it does fine. However, it's in a mixed reef tank that gets feed pretty well, and I have a high fish load so there's lots of fish poop.
If I didn't have the fish, I'd be giving rotifers and cyclops. Dan |

I feed my galaxia cyclopeeze and it seems to love it. It probably doesn't need to be fed though.
The galaxia isn't a soft coral by the way.. it's a stony

If you look at the coral when the polyps are retracted you'll see it grows a skeleton

Officially, Galaxea is a large-polyped stony coral (LPS), in the same general category as Torch, Frogspawn, Hammer, Bubble, Plate, and similar corals. Among the LPS corals, Galaxea has relatively small polyps. Small-polyped stony corals (SPS) are in a league of their own with respect to light, flow, and mineral nutrient needs.
Enjoy the ride, Dan |
