jadakiss · 12-20-2007, 11:56 PM

hi guys i have a ? about feeding. well my ? is that when i feed mysis do i have to feed every single mouth of every plyop and how many times a day or week should i feed my corals. i have 55g small soft coral reef no fish and pc lights, skimmer.

I don't think any corals besides sun polyps and the likes will eat food as big as mysis. You could try cyclopeeze, you're probably just adding to the nutrients in your tank

It's still probably too big for coral to eat....

What kind of coral do you have? Ricordia can accept mysis if they're small enough.

jada,

I never purposefully feed the corals in my tank - I feed the fish and the corals eat just as well.

if you have no fish, then i would get a turkey baster to target feed - I would do once a week.
