Default Coral Food?

Can I get some feedback on what everyone feeds their corals?

In what form do you feed phytoplankton? Dry, liquid?

This is the food I also use. Have noticed an increase in growth and health.

Kent doesn't sell any live phyto....Only Dennis Tagrin (DT's) or Randy Reed (Phyto Feast live) do. Anything from Kent is dead.

Not that it matters much.....very few corals directly ingest phyto.....most corals are carnivores and not vegetarians. With that said, phyto does feed many other species that spawn, and their spawn is good coral food.

That's only partially correct. There is also Phyto02 and Algegen producing live phyto sold via LFS's.

I feed my Alveopora (flower pot) and open brain cyclopezee. Then feed my tongue coral brine and mysis sometimes. They all seem to love it they are growing nicely and have opened up more since I brought them home.
