Title: Feeding LPS
Post by: T-Man on May 01, 2012, 04:02:54 PM
Should I be feeding my LPS?

I have a mostly SPS reef with one sole Favia.
I'm starting to loose some tissue on a couple of heads, should I be feeding it?
If so, with what?

It wouldn't hurt, and if you make it part of your feeding regime it could get nice and healthy again in no time...

Have you had it for a long time? I had one that started slipping after I moved it under too much light. I also had a flame angel that took a liking to pecking at it, so keep at eye out for fish culprits too!

I feed about as often as kole, a couple times a week, roughly.

Thanks guys, but how do I stop my fish from eating the pellets?

It can be a hassle... I try to feed the corals after feeding the fish, that way they are a bit less aggressive. Cleaner shrimp are real butt-heads too for nabbing food from corals.
