The new era pellets are amazing! Corals get very happy when that stuff hits the water.

Otherwise corals enjoy eating tang poop thats gets dumped on them ALL the time.

It really depends on what coral you are trying to feed for what food is best to use.
I primarily use the Fauna Marin line including
SeaFan
MinF
Clam
MinD
Pac
the LPS food
and energizer to help trigger a feeding response for certain tricky to feed corals

also feed frozen food like mysis, oyster eggs, and shrimp eggs

Here is a video of scolymia eating:

I have used the FM LPS food for scolymis, chalice, lobo, even riccordea and many other corals
