Will nauplii suffice as the only coral food?

[shoelevy]

most of us know nauplii which is freshly hatched brine shrimps are very rich in nutrients and very good for our lifestocks.

if i'm not mistaken...corals take them too.

so my question is...if i feed nauplii....do i still need to dose coral food?

[Achilles Tang]

Excuse me, but Nauplii what?

Pls be more descriptive in your topic title in future....

People's time wil be wasted clicking on threads trying to guess what you're trying to say and also the mod's time having to rename your thread with a proper description for you.

I'll rename your thread from "Nauplii" to "Will nauplii suffice as the only coral food?"

Thank you for your future compliance.

BBS can be too big for certain corals so stuff like Golden Pearls are a better choice.

BBS are more suited to feed fish fry in conjunction with cyclops

artemia nauplii are not high in nutrients.

Diversity is the key. Although BBS is nutritious in certain aspect, it is definitely not a complete food.

Also, not all coral are able to capture BBS.

Depending on what type of corals are you feeding:

softies? LPS? SPS?

For me I feed GPs for SPS; bits of shrimp for LPS (hammer)
