How do you know if corals are accepting food?

[William Spak]

Hey guys,

Some of my corals don't close up that much when feeding, here's a few pictures...
(I feed reef roids btw).

Are these mushrooms supposed to close up?

Hammer doesn't even seem phased after feeding...

My cleaner shrimp likes to bother my zoas right after they get food... how do I know if they get any?

Duncan's definitely look like they're accepting it.


If they're not taking this food, how do I get them to?

Thanks,
Will

Stop stressing. They're eating.

I agree with @Katrina71 , they are eating. Some show it more than others. When feeding Reef Roids, acans will send out their feeder tentacles, euphillia don't look like they are doing anything.

How do you know if your corals want to be fed? Some corals do well with artificial foods, some don't care and some do not do well at all. Check this research done by the University of Hawai'i
