Copepod food?

[rapid]

so ive recently ran out of phytoplankton to feed the copepods in my refugium and tank. I dose roid rage to feed my filter feeding corals xeina, duncan, sun coral as well as feed the duncan and sun coral peices of little shrimp. will the copepods survive off of the roid rage im feeding to the corals?

They eat fish poop also. But pytoplankton really helps. I have a mandarin and dose phytoplankton just twice a week. Pods are doing well. How are your sun corals doing? Pictures? Been interested in trying one

sun corals are doing good the seem to be opening up around feeding time say 6:00pm even in the light hours... took me about a week to get them to start opening during the day. but they really like the night i have them under a ledge in the shade!
will have to get a photo of them opened up

Really defeats the point in naming them sun corals ! THEY HATE THE SUN !

Do you target feed the sun corals? How long have you had then?

been in tank about a month

yes i target feed them mysid shrimp when they open but the trick was to try and teach them to open during day for feedings seems like if i blast them with a little juice from the shrimp they start to open once they are fully out shoot a little peice in it and itll close up on it keep that up during day. youll get them to come out during day. when i first started them in the tank i had to feed them at night a little to make sure they stayed alive !
