    What does this stuff look like when it's mixed with water? Is it a very fine powdery substance that corals filter?

    Larger than a powder, think just under the size of a period. You can still discern body parts with the naked eye if your sharp.

    Thanks!

    Do the coral consistently capture particles that large?

    Most of my meaty food eaters capture it easily (acans, favias, palys...) plus the fish enjoy it.

    Noticeable growth acceleration?

    Not that i'd feel comfortable attributing to the cyclo's alone. Everything is getting fed such a varied diet that I can't say it's the cyclopeeze alone. That said everything is growing fairly quickly.

    Would you say feeding in general has accelerated growth?

    I believe it has. I don't target feed much. I feed the fish heavily and let the flow make food for the rest of the tank generally.
