Do you feed your Palys?

[sleeri]

I've found that some of my palys absolutely love the PE mysis I feed my shrimp. In particular, my Sunny-Ds. Anyway, just wondering if people consistently feed their palys. Also, do you notice a difference in growth and color when you do? Thanks for the feedback.

I used to feed them, but they started spreading too fast. I haven't fed them in over a year and they still multiply. I even occasionally have to throw them away or they would take over the tank.

Thanks for the feedback. Anyone else?

You can feed them with zooplankton products

Cyclop-Eeze is what I give them every other day...

I broadcast feed my tank and my nuclear yellow plays seem to always get a piece or two. I tjik they look way more healthy and grow much better when fed but this is only my experience with ONE type of play so Idk!

Yep, every coral in my system gets fed, spot fed if I have the time.

I spot feed, all of my coral once a week. Right before my water change (I do 15g change on a 75g every Sunday)

Friday night, is party time, for my coral. I spot feed with Reef Roids.
Not too much, I use a tiny bit, mixed in with tank water. Not the recommended teaspoon.

I am spot feeding mine for the time being with Reef Feast using a turkey baster.....I want them to grow and spread somemore.
Even when I don't spot feed them I see them picking stuff out of the water column, so I am certain they are getting plenty to eat :smile:

I spot feed cyclopeze,mysis, and seafood mix twice a week.

Not sure if they eat. I notice polyps are much bigger when no food in the tank.

Thanks for all the feedback! I like the cyclo idea. I'll give that a shot a few times a week. Seems like it would be a good size for the palys.

I've seen mine grab and ingest food quite often.

Mine catch brine and mysis out if the water when I feed my fish (with a turkey baster). I do not feed them directly with the turkey baster like I do other corals. I've notice mine prefer larger meat items I feed my fish like brine, mysis, chopped shrimp. I even seen one close up on and try to eat about an inch cube piece of shrimp I was planning to feed my eel.

Mine eat frozen the fish get, and new life spectrum pellets. My captain America was a single polp for months. Then we started giving it a pellet directly 2-3x a week and its popped off 3 babies in the past 2 months. And one already size of the original. And I think color is a lot better.
