What do you feed corals

[andy51632]

What are you suppose to feed corals? Trying to do some research. I found some product called liquid life marineplankton. There are three types MarinePlankton, Bio Plankton, and coralPlankton. What is the difference?

I feed my tanks a small amount of marine plankton and bioplankton once about every 2 weeks.

It depends on which corals you are feeding. Corals such as acropora or galaxea that eat microparticles need zooplankton. I personally use Kent's Zoomax.
Corals such as bubble corals and torch corals need meaty foods. Here is where you can save a bundle of money and skip the petstore foods altogether. Just go to the local grocery and buy some fresh unpreserved, uncooked seafood.
I've found shrimp and squid to be the most readily consumed by my corals. A month's supply runs me about $1.20 at the grocery store.
