Feeding Pulsing Xenia And Trumpet Corals

[mellanby]

Does anyone feed their xenia or trumpets anything special? Mine are looking fine, but was wondering what all of you feed yours.

I feed frozen brine shrimp every other day.

Xenia doesn't really need feeding. Really -- don't encourage it. I worry that I'll wake up one day and find that the xenia has crawled out of the tank and taken over the world! It grows even faster than the Green Star Polyps. At any rate, I wouldn't think brine shrimp would be the right particle size for xenia! (Thank God).

By trumpet coral do you mean caulastrea? Being LPS, this is more likely to eat something of that size.... but brine shrimp is pretty nutritionally void - mysis would be a better bet. I do feed my LPS occasionally - they enjoy a good meal!
