What is everyone feeding their LPS?

[mr.lordacan]

Just curious to see what everyone is feeding their LPS corals and which foods they’ve seen have the strongest feeding response?

My tank is predominantly lps (acans, trumpet, bubble, favia, Goni, cyphastrea [?]) and various zoas, mushroom, and a plate coral.

I’ve had the strongest responses with Reef Roids. Some respond to Fauna Marin LPS pellets. However I’ve been trying to limit these due to phosphate leech from dry rock (an ongoing struggle).

I recently tried moving to Reef Nutrition Roti Feast (direct feed) and I’ve seen close to no response from any LPS outside of my bubble coral and a slight response from the favia. Has anyone experienced this with LPS? Are there any other feeding recommendations?

I also dose 2mL of AB+ daily outside of my 1-2x/week feedings

Great question, currently I have 2 LPS colonies and 2 softie colonies, though I have alot more LPS on the way, right now I get a great feeding response from my Duncan with Hikari jumbo mysis spotfeedig, one piece per head, and i indirectly feed Hikari coral gumbo to the whole tank. I also recently added algaebarn galaxypods and live phyto in prep for the large LPS shipment.

I used to feed my favia and sun coral mysis.

I do spot feed mysis once in a while when I’ve thawed a little too many. They’re always happy with that!

I broadcast feed benepets and tiny bit of reef roids once per week. Phytoplankton daily.

My acan (micromussa) and Yuma likes mysis. My favia like Reef roids.

I try to feed reefroids to my hammer, octospawn, zoa’s and torch but I can’t tell if they’re eating or not.

Only the best for my fellas. Juicy ribeye 3 times a week.

Scolys are fed Nyos LPS pellets 1-2x weekly depending on how they look. Nyos phytoplankton 1x weekly. LRF nano fed to mandarins daily, tank gets what’s floating in water. Scolys, Gonis, sea rod.
