zoplankton and phytoplankton could be used or a product called coral frenzy, but water quality can be compromised by using them, as long as your tank is established you should be ok with whatever is floating through the water column, the only thing you should really supplement is calcium and things of that nature, if you tank need it only though, heavily stocked sps tanks and such, and of course non-photosynthetic corals need special feeding care, but i am sure more people with more experience will be able to tell you more.

dose phyto.
for max coral growth use some brine shrimp.
i have heard that corals that are feed cyclopeeze tend to have better color, but i am not positive of this, and i do not use it.

Every coral is going to have different feeding requirements. The best food for all photosynthetic corals is light, adequete light is all they really need. Beyond that occasional feedings of phytoplankton, Mysis shrimp, krill, cyclopeeze, ect... are okay but over use can cause high nitrates and phosphates.
Brine shrimp are not a healthy choice to feed anything in a SW tank it won't hurt anything but there are much better choices out there.
