coral question

[debbie]

I have a 1 gal pico tank that has 1 crab, mushrooms, zoos, feather duster, ricordia, green star polyps. I give the crab a small piece of pellet every otherday. Since there is no fish in this little tank and all corals do I need to supplement it with anything for them??
I know that the majority of them rely on light but I don't want to starve them either if I should be giving them something.

i dont know if you have to for all those but what i do is i do a multi-suplement sorta thing for the calcium level for my crabs so if you do that it will help the crab plus it might help your corals look healthier. and i dont know if im completely right so if im wrong someone correct me.

You could add some phytoplankton to the tank. Also adding a vitamin fluid wouldn't hurt.
DT's Phytoplankton and Zoe (vitamin)
Don't abuse the phytoplankton though or you will end up with algae outbreaks.

dont add anything you cant test for is what I live by
if you use good quality salt and do water changes you dont have to add anything
