    Great!
    I have never spot fed mine, or any other coral for that matter.
    They seem to grow. I've read that >95% of a corals energy is derived essentially form light,
    which causes the simbiote Zooanthellae algae in them to photosunthesize, producing O2 and food, which the coral uses for food.

    I dunno

    While I agree there is absolutely no need to; it's fun to watch how quickly coral can wrap around a piece of food. Plus, I used to power feed my acans for growth.

    As long as you don't foul your water quality, I see no disadvantage to feeding. It usually produces more color and growth in corals which is what we all strive for.

    I'm a believer in feeding my LPS, worked very well for me the last few years. Great growth and colors plus it is really cool to watch them eat
