Euphyllia eating behaviour

Twinanoreef · Jan 11, 2020

Hi

I have 2 Euphyllias in my tank. I try to feed them to speed up their growth. My frogspawn

is a voracious eater, it opens its mouth wide and eats mysis actively ( sounds fast but it is a rather slow 20-30 minute process). While my torch does not accept any food, nor has reaction to food other than grabbing it, just so it later slips down its tentacles. I've tried mysys, artemia, krill, tiny pieces of shrimp, Ocean nutrition powder coral food etc. It accepts nothing. It is looking super healthy though.
What do you feed euphyllia with? Shouod i add something to the food to make it more enticing?

Some euphyllia won't take feedings no matter what you offer IME. If it looks healthy and is growing I wouldn't worry at all.

I make a thick paste and use a syringe to target feed with reef roids. I'll turn I'll pumps off and squirt all around it, the gel the settles on my hammer, few minutes pass and he's wide open taking every bit. Haven't found a coral that wouldn't eat using this method so far. Although I only have 12 corals all of them love target feeding this way.
