    So what time do you feed your corals? Right before lights out, after lights out, doesn't matter? I'm curious because every time I feed mine right before the lights go out (or if the lights are on for that matter) my cleaner shrimp pillages my corals lol. My cloves look like a fresh field of flowers that have been run over by an bulldozer! Would feeding them later help?

    You could squirt some of the coral food (I feed mysis) in the direction of the shrimp once it gets in a good area to do it. That's what I do, it keeps them (cleaner and coral banded) busy for a little while, and shrimp happen to love nothing more than eating shrimp. I feed at least 1/2 hour after lights out.

    The best time is the morning time and the evening time because there is a little bit light present .
