What is the best food for corals. - e.g Goniporas-toadstools- mushroom- Bubble.

 

[Navarre]

for everything other than a bubble coral. I dont feed at all. Just the light and they will pick up the nutrients that if given off of the food given to fishes.

The bubble I feed twice per week with finly chopped cockle, mussel or krill.

I'd feed live phyto plankton for softies but if its not that heavily stocked, then there may be no need but it wouldn't harm to do so.

IT does depend on the size of your tank and how many corals you have.

Some here would be shocked by how much I feed, but My 125 is chock full of hungry softies that always seem to readily accept food.

Pattie has our recipe written down somewhere, and I do have to make more really soon.

It more or less consists of a nice tuna steak, a lobster tail, a few mussells, a whole package of the frozen brine, a tablespoon of garlic, and a couple sheets of dry seaweed....blend well, and freeze. It looks expensive at first when purchasing the ingredients, but yields an enormous amount of food.

Almost forgot.

Do you UK guys have access to Cyclops-eaze

 

[Navarre]

Yes and i use it everyday. Mostly for the anthias but the corals love it too.

If anyone has never used this food before then i highly recomend it. Corals love it, fish love it. Its very tiny so the smallest pinch of this food will go a long long way.

Over here its called "Cyclopeze"

I use that too. polype extention on some of my hard corals is amzing after this is feed.
