Feeding Coral

**RyanMag2689** · 08-14-2010, 07:48 PM

I am new to this and am unsure about how to feed my coral. I have 30 gallon tank with two starburst polyps, on nano polyp, and a taro tree. Currently I am adding~15 drops of phyto-feast every other day. Is this ok? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Ryan and

to TR.

Corals don't eat phyto but it can be used to feed some kinds of pods and small clams. Those corals are photosynthetic and in general these three don't need any supplemental feeding. They may capture small microscopic bits that are floating in the water when you blow the rocks off. There are other corals that benefit from supplemental feeding of meaty foods.

I agree with Carmie. There's no need to feed the corals you have. In fact, phyto can quickly foul your water quality if there's nothing around to eat it.
