Hey, that question looks familiar..

:wink:

I'll move this into the GRD this time (and leave a shadow in the NRF as well) - maybe you'll get more responses.

May I suggest a few books that will answer these and any other coral and invert feeding questions you may encounter along the way. These really are gooooood investments.

The books are by Julian Sprung.. and.....someone Dilbeek I think.

They are called The Reef Aquarium. Vols 1 and 2.

They can be a little pricy, so you may do good to find them used on EBay like I did.

ANYHOW to help with ur question.
Featherduster = a filter feeder that will probably glean whatever it can from the water column thats left over from the rest of the feeding.

Zoas. = THE VAST majority get their nutrients from symbiotic zooalgae. I dont think they CAPTURE food... do they?

Euphyllia = I feed mine silversides!

Clavuaria -= donno

Xenia = IMO they don't need spot feeding.

Just my 2 cents.. maybe with a few more 2 cents u can make up somthing that will REALLY help!!!

You can feed zoas mysis if you like., along with any LPS and your fish wil enjoy mysis as well.

1 feather duster

I believe these will eat phytoplankton. I have never fed mine directly

1 tubastrea

These guys MUST be fed regularly. When the polyps are open, gently blow vitamin enriched brine shrimp, mysis, shredded table raw shrimp, ect. onto the polyps, and don't let your fishes steal it. If is isn't eating what you offer it, find something it will eat. I hear they like cyclopeeze too.

1 zoanthinaria mat

You can try blowing brine shrimp or any meaty seafood that is in small particles at it. I don't feed mine at all directly.

1 euphyllia

Place small chunks of raw seafood, or store bought frozen fish food (thawed) or brine or mysis on the tentacles.

clavularia

I don't know what these eat but I suspect they do not require direct feeding

xenia

I really don't know what/if xenia eat, but I have never fed mine and never met anyone who fed theirs.
