Feeding Coral

I jsut bought a torch, greens star polyp, frog spawn, zoa and kenya tree, a LPS had a huge sale, so I figured I cashed in. I have no idea how to feed or what to feed them, hoping you guys/gals can give me some advice and how to and what to feed them

 

you dont have to feed them; as long as you keep alkalinity, magnesium, and calcium and check plus the lighting requirements they should be fine

 

the frogspawn and torch may eat some brine shrimp once a week or so.

the kenya tree would probably eat phytoplankton or small zooplankton.

by in large most of the corals you got aren't big feeders.

 

well you can feed them; you dont really have to, but it helps with growth

 

feeding most corals is debateble. I personally think feeding is what allows the corals to grow so large so fast in the wild. However in our tanks the benefits of feedings are often countered by the decrease in water quality from said feedings.

so alot of people don't feed because it isn't necessary if you have fish .

 

thanks guys!

 

True, I only rarely feed my corals. I find my tank reacts poorly to it, so I don't do it that much.

 

agreed you've got nothing that needs feeding, but the only ones you have that you can feed are the euphyllias (torch and frogspawn).

You'll pretty much have to turn your flow off to accomplish this with these. They do not hold on very good to their food.
