Feeding coral

[Disneyfan412]

I am planning on going on vacation for a week. Whats the easiest way to feed my corals while i am gone?

Do you have fish? I PERSONALLY wouldn't worry about feeding my coral if I was gone for just a week. Honestly they do fine without feeding at all, but I do enjoy watching the feeding response.

I would be more curious about feeding the fish while I was gone. An EHEIM auto fish feeder works well for pretty cheap.

I have a few clowns and a goby and a fire shrimp right now. Ill have more fish in there by the time i am going on vacation.

Can you use the EHEIM with mysis shrimp?

No, it is for use with pellet food. But you can set it to feed multiple times a day. If you feed mysis exclusively, you may want to look in to having someone come feed your fish for you. Typically, fish can go many days without food, so they wouldn't have to come every day.

Guess i could go to a pellet food for that time period.

I think it would work. Start feeding it before you go, though. I always feed a mix of pellets and frozen, but when I'm out of town I only feed pellets. Everything seems to do fine.
