I feed my corals reef energy AB+ and whatever from the turkey baster when I target feed my fish. I also have tons of Copepods so Digitate Hydroids feed on them so I'm going to my LFS to find something that will reduce pod population. Lol
Persistent little 'flippy floppy pains in the derrieres', aren't they!
Besides reducing the pod population/feeding less small particulate food, I'd suggest a Halloween Hermit (Ciliopagurus strigatus). Mine will feed on colonial hydroids that it can reach and likely any digitate hydroids that have the 'foot' exposed.
