What do you feed your chalices

[ethridge78]

What does everybody feed your chalices ?

 

[Noob]

I feed mine either Reef Chili, a mix of Rod's food and Oyster Feast, or most recently Mysis. I just need to keep my snails and shrimp away when they're feeding.

I like to use Reef Pearls and sometimes Fauna Marin.

Thanks guys keep them coming

 

[ritter6788]

I don't feed mine directly at all.

 

[ethridge78]

Wouldn't they grow faster being feed?

 

[Birddog]

Depends on the specimen, but primarily mysid shrimp as long as their mouth is big enough. My water melon and BGM are huge eaters and the more I feed them the faster they grow!!

I'm sure they eat, I just don't feed them. They can catch plankton at night or fish food but they usually don't open when I feed the fish. Mine grow just fine. They have really long feeder tentacles at night.

My fish would steal it if I tried to feed them anyway.

Depends on the tank setup. If fish, shrimp, etc are In there, I'd feed the smallest food possible, so they can Ingest It quickly. If nothing In the tank will rip the
food from their grasp, and meaty foods will do.

Coral Frenzy. I got a sample of it and the chalices seemed to respond very favorably to it .

 

[ethridge78]

thank you

 

[ethridge78]

anybody else ?

Anyone ever fed them a lot, and then stopped to see what would happen?

Nothing really. Perhaps they catch the marine snow or rotifers I feed my other coral. Never have gotten them to eat chunky food. Had success with smaller food though.

 

[Finnaddict]

Reef Roids. Makes em puff up. I like it because like said above larger stuff gets stolen by reef thieves.

 

[ethridge78]

I have been feed them a little bit of everything and they are growing pretty fast I think went from a 1 eye to a 2 eye on my bugatti and 3 eye to almost 5 eye on my tangerine envy and almost a 1/4" on my pink Floyd

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

I don't target feed mine anymore. I was using Fauna Marin, but after a little while my LPS started to not do so well.

 

[alan.reef]

I use to feed my chalice chopped table shrimp 2 times week . they grow steady.
now less feed, 2 week 1 feeding very slow grow.
