No I do not dose any phyto to this tank, just feed them directly.

Them = fish or shrooms? If shrooms, can you share what you are feeding them other than luv

 

[coral reeftank]

The shrooms.
They eat just about anything. At first I used reef roads, brightwell reef blizzard L. I need to turn off the pumps so the shrooms have time get there mucus over the food so they can pull the food in. About 70% of them eat this way, lately I got some fauna marin lps pellets and the reaction is almost instant so I think I might switch and about 80% of the shrooms eat this stuff. The jawbreakers seem not to notice the food but my bounces and eclectus seem to eat readily.

My LPS absolutely love the fauna marin pellets. Feeding response is insane.

I discovered tonight that one of my jawbreakers had its first baby!
The bud is still under the momma, will update when it starts to form.

How do feed the fauna marin lps pellet?
I just bought a container of LPS grow and color M and another container of Ricordea & Zoanthus.

Turn pumps off so the pellets don't blow away and drop some onto the coral. I usually put some pellets in a cup of tank water and use a baster for better accuracy and ease. Here is a feeding video using this food.
@coral reeftank may have a different method than me though.

I turn off all my pumps and just drop 1 pellet on the mushroom. I have to stand and watch because if I don't the cleaner shrimp and my yellow tang will come by and snatch the food.

That's pretty much what I do.

Thanks for the reply.
Fed my bubble and frogspawn the LPS grow+ color by hand. was no issue.
then fed my yuma's the Ricordea & Zoanthus by hand and that didn't work well. will try with a baster

 

[coral reeftank]

My pink yuma doesn't want to eat the fauna marin but my red one does. Weird.

A careful steady procedure with tweezers will work as well. A baster can be tricky as well as the food sinks so it will fall out when pointed down if not done swiftly.
