Im posting these pics of my corals feeding, because i know theres alot of people out there that buy zooplex, marine snow, and what not. Theres something cheaper..... Its called shrimp. I get shrimp from a local seller at the market that will keep beat up ugly shrimp for me. He cant sell ugly shrimp for people to eat. I been known to use some other products too, but i mainly just soak shrimp in a bowl of seachems reef plus. Then cut into small pieces and serve at room temp. Just about every lps and softy will eat. Fish will also eat so beware!. Heres some pics of candy canes, lobos, ric mushrooms, and even the small mouths of green star polyps will eat.
You can see in the pic above, that the head at the far right had its mouth open while the others dont. mouths on these corals can streach open as thick as a pencil, if not more.
Lobos can eat even bigger wads of food.
I generally feed the smaller corals like these zoas, the left over small peaces and the liquid left behind from cutting up the shrimp.
Heres a ric mushroom eating. As you can see it will swell up and close around the food, and later open up when its digested.
