Colt Coral Feeding

[Eversurf]

Well I bought one and read a whole bunch of information on them. Now i'm kinda confused on what I should feed it. Some place say it will take brine shrimp, bloodworm and so on. Other sites say it will only take phytoplankton and other liquid food.

I have seen mine catch a few brine shrimp and I have been adding the kent marine food for filter feeder. Is this enough or should I add something else. Right now there might be too much flow cause it is kinda leaning toward the left, but it might only be because the engineer goby has been building tunnels under there. All the polyps are open on it's branch.

Thanx

Colt are predominantly photosynthetic but DO benefit from feeding. I've never seen any of my softies actually take in brine but they have 'sticked' baby brine. I wouldn't worry too much as long as it is open and getting good light....the will take in what they need foodwise if spotfed well. SH

Agreed. The most convenient food would be a little cyclopeeze if you want to try feeding it, but as SH said, they're mostly photosynthetic.
