target feeding???

[saixiong08]

Should i be target feeding my corals to make them grow faster? I have a Toadstool Mushroom Leather, green star polys, duncan, hammer coral, frogspawn, and some zoas. Which ones need to be target feed to grow faster. And if i do need to I was thinking about using the twin pack of pe mysis and cyclop eeze, any suggestions will surely help

The Duncan is really the only coral in that group that will appreciate target feedings, the foods you mentioned will work. For the others you could try Reefroids or Reefchilli, but you would not be targeting feeding. All other corals mentioned will take up the small suspended particles of those products, both products are designed for that purpose. I have found no benefit to target feeding the Hammer or other Euphyllia types. Avoiding an ultra low nutrient system was more beneficial then purposely target feeding the Euphyllia.

I agree with Tahoe. I have a 120 gal. tank full of softies and lps, and I never feed. I tried it a year ago and all I gained was higher nitrates and algae.
