Operation scoly!

[BrandonS]

When you spot feed them aminos do you stop flow and squirt it at them? Or blend it in with like reefroids to a paste? Acropower says to broadcast feed it. TYIA

I stop flow and feed. The paste may work better as no mater how slow the flow it takes a bit for the scoly to go into feeding mode. So some ends up being broadcast. I slowly feed 2ml. Start with a little squirt then when the scoly cups up and opens tentacles I feed the rest. Mine also gets some tdo pellets as they fall to the bottom. If I feed in a certain spot some make it down to him. Not direct feeding but he gets some.

I will also say I find less is more. Feels like it takes more energy to eat the big stuff. That's why I keep it liquid with only a few small items that drift by. Killed a scoly or two trying to feed them to much while they were recovering. I do the same thing. Buy the beat up ones for cheap and try to save them.

Just found this. Has some good info.

As a lifelong reefkeeper and, more recently, a coral vendor, I’ve been blessed wit the opportunity to see and keep many different animals over the years. Corals, in particular, have dominated my attention in recent years, and I’ve developed a really good appreciation for their diversity, beauty...

What spectrum do you run ? I think they will be fine.

I run viparspectra 165w so whatever that is? And I hope so! They appear to be doing better!!
