Food for LpS

[Deron Ng]

Hi can any one recommend what to feed them..? Which brand and does it work..? Been pouring 5in1 coral food but they don't seem to be feeding.. No feeding tentacles.. Prefer to just pour into tank rather then target feeding with mysis or brine.. Advise needed thanks.

Target feed is the only way to get the tenacles of lps in feeding mode. I've not heard of broadcasting method achieve this. Maybe others can advise.

But in the wild they filter feed right?

In nature, food is aplenty for it to filter feed, u can't do that in your tank as it will pollute your water.

I pour in zooplankton, phytoplankton, 5 in 1 coral food and also target feed Mysis to my torch, elegance, frogspawn corals. Problem is.... the Mysis will get picked by the fishes. Can't tell if the corals are getting it.

Try turn off your main pump and skimmer when you pour in the coral food for about 10-15mins
