is it bad to put medicine into the food? doesn't this actually eventually harm the corals?

I know I know many people hate this product but I had great results with only MM years ago so won't do a system without it.
Got my Koralin S-4102 Sulfur Denitrator
UV Sterilizer! Thing looks like a submarine

He is eating Nori. I'm improvising ways to present food. I'm going to make some masstick and put it on LR chunks. It's hard to spot feed anyone in my system but I think I can sneak it on with my sons help. Justin actually got me into the black worms. Not gonna lie when the first shipment came in I felt like sending them back lol. Truly took a few moments to adapt. Honestly though once that initial cleaning occurs it's fairly straightforward as far as maintenance. I ordered a lb from California live black worms. I can get you the name but they are the first thing that pops up on google. My fish do consume it quickly and they do require at least every other day cleaning. I do it daily as I feed them daily. There is a shortage so 1 lb is max they will send you at this time. I say try it out. My fish look more vibrant. Their colors pop. I do feed a lot of different foods as well but I do think it helps them. I went from losing mass quantities of fish mostly my fault I admit but now I add them and they stay healthy. It is also good for the LFS. If I see a fish chomp them at the store I know I can get hi. To eat.

Thank you. I've been considering ordering the black worms but I'm just not too particular about letting them chill in my frig lol. I initially had two MI one just failed to thrive. The one that made it would only eat nori go awhile then he would only eat pellets if they were rolling along the bottom in the flow, now he eats anything and I think he likes my chalice also

Glad I could help Locitto
Black worms are the best ever.
My fish are vibrant as well.
The thing is black worms can not be the staple of the diet.
When I work I feed or try to feed three times pinch or two of black worms before work and then after work then 2 grams of lrs at around nine pm.
When I'm off I double my feeding about 4-5 pinches throughout the day of black worms and 2 servings of lrs.
Knock on wood nothing bad has happened to my fish since starting this feeding regemine.
And I have found for the black worms and I have tried everything from paper towels to coffee filters the best way to clean them is two sink grates overlap the holes so they are small. Poor in the black worms run water thru them and dump it back into the container.
@Black Pearl If done right and @locito277 had the same doubts if done right u don't even know the worms are in the fridge. My better half doesn't even realize they are in there and it takes up about as much space as a small cheese container. It's easy least once u get in the swing of things.
But the worms can not go neglected they need to be cleaned at lease every other day and if not everyday. If any saltwater gets in the container it will kill the worms as well.
I don't know where u live black pearl but u should try to find a local black worm source because it is fully worth it

I also feed all those mentioned. I mix everything in with the plexes. I also keep some by itself to mix in. I'm intrigued by the bok Choy. How is it served? How often? I buy all types of different Nori. And feed the caulerpa from the filter as well. What kind of clams do you guys buy?
