NPS Sponge/Sea Fan (Gorgonian) diet

[ToadstoolCoral155]

Hello! I am wondering what to feed my NPS Sponge and NPS Gorgonian. They have been doing fine with Seachem zooplankton for a while (at least the Gorgonian doesn't look like he's dying), but those out there who care for either of these tell me what you feed them, because I ran out of my zooplankton.

I hit mine with a powdered coral food when I feed the rest of my corals. (Think Reef Chili or Reef-roids). The polyps seem to close up and capture it but I really don't know how much good it does. I've also seen it capture pieces of mysis and brine when I feed the rest of the tank. Again, I don't know if it takes them up or it's just a grasping response but mine seems to be growing pretty well.

I have reef roids and rod's food. Should I pair it with Reef Chili?

I only do one at a time but I suppose you could do both. I just happen to use Reef Chili and Benepets since I ran out of Reef-roids. I can't tell you that one's better than the others but my sea pen seems to accept all of them.

How about broadcast feeding? I do that all the time.
