Feeding star polyps

[jman9331]

Just got some of these from my friend just wondering what yall use to feed. Recommendation I got was Kent chromoplex or phytoplex. Any other recommendations?

Green star polyps?
They are strictly photosynthetic no food required

Ah I see.... they came on a rock that has a small leather tree on it is that the same strictly light?

Lighting and fish poo... They prefer higher nitrates...10/25is
No need to target or broadcast feed...

Agreed..... They grow so fast, the last thing you want to do is help them along.

In fact, I would suggest that you be careful where you place the GSPs. Isolate them from your rock work, or you will have them from one end to the other in your tank. They will become a plague in short order, if they are happy in your system.

I completely agree with this. I keep mine as an "island" in the sand bed and don't allow them to get close to the main rock work. I've never target feed them and can't imagine needing to.

ya they are becoming a pest in my tank....they have about 10% of the rock work right now which is a lot....im gonna start stripping it out somehow

Honestly, most coral don't really need to be fed.
Give the fish plenty of food and maybe broadcast feed some oyster feast, reef chili, etc a couple times a week and you should be set.

And +1 to isolating GSP. That stuff takes over quickly. It is pretty, though.

Yeah I have them on their own rock away from everything.
