- Thread starter surfdawake

I don't feed mine at all, they are all photosynthetic. I just let'em grab what floats by from feeding the fish, my zoos quite often grab brine shrimp. The others don't save my Rics ocasionally wiil grab some brine shrimp if it lands on them. It really depends on what corals you got. What do you got?

Though it is correct that most corals do not directly ingest the Phytoplankton, most, if not all corals will benefit from the byproducts of phytoplankton feeding. You create larger, and often more diverse zooplankton populations, the breakdown products of phytoplankton feed the corals with dissolved organic compounds and molecular level products.
It was once that people said feeding phytopankton was of no benefit. To convince people otherwise, all they need do is see a tank that has been feed phyto to know the differance.
There are a number of new foods that target corals with a zooplankton sized feed. However, their are very few that can be ingested by the majority of corals.
