Feeding my coral

[Poopy88]

Hey I was wondering if I can get some advice on feeding my soft coral. I want to know if it is a good or bad idea to feed them pureed salmon?

You do not need to feed them, they'll take up some of the dissolved organic compounds in the water. Basically if your feeding your fish your soft corals should be fine.

Just to make sure what corals types specifically.

Pureed salmon would probably contribute to a decline in water quality.

I have acans, ricordea mushrooms, hammer, toadstool, duncan, trumpet, anemone, some polyps and a few others. I have two gobies and two shrimps so I feed them a little bit of brine and mysis shrimp twice a day. Not sure if that's good enough, but the reason I was thinking about feeding them salmon is because I have some fresh salmon that I'm not going to cook or eat.

The Duncan, Acans, Candy cane would probably take some if it's raw. The anemone might take a tiny piece. You can feed the LPS corals the Mysis shrimp. Look at Rod's Food if you're looking for something to feed your stony corals and your fish at the same time.

Tahoe's right. Duncan's, anemone, acans and candy canes do well with feedings. If its salmon make sure it's not canned. I personally wouldn't risk canned food. Polyps also benefit from meaty food. I have never been able to get euphyllia to take food so don't worry if they reject everything.
