When do you feed your corals????

[spanko]

The only coral I make any effort to feed are the LPS. Everything else gets whatever is floating in the water column. I believe the SPS are probably getting most of their nutrition form the bacteria and fish poop in my tank.
Bornemen has a good article on food and its effect on coloring. Long read and quite a lot of science but a good read.

I feed my corals day & night. I feed them Brine with spirulina, baby brine some corals get mysis, rotifers , oyster eggs and phyto. I feed the brine once a week, the rotifers and oyster feast 3 times a week. The phyto I feed only in the day time 2 times a week. The key is small amounts.
I am going to vote night.
