1st question to ask yourself...Why feed carnivorious coral plants?? I fed my corals Phytoplan, DTs and other Plant based Foods and I only ended up with larg amounts of Cynobacteria, and didn't get that much reation from my Coral. I started feeding my tank Zooplan (two little fishies) and I no longer have a cynobacteria issue, and my coral is the prettiest and largest it has ever been. I've had a tank for 3 years and I wish I had know to feed the corals zooplankton and not Phyto plankton back when I started. It would have saved my a lot of headaches 
. I've see that DT's is now selling Oyster eggs and I think that would be a great food if it weren't so damn expensive ($20/30 ml 1 ml feeds 50-70 gal tank). I use Zooplan and Cyclopeze, and my Coral is happy

I started usng PhytoFeast. 1 drop per day per 10 gallons. It's super concentrated and would recommend buying the smallest bottle. You'll go through it very slowly. My LFS used to use DT and switched because they say it is better than DT
