I feed Fauna Marin Ultra LPS pellets - All of my LPS and soft corals respond instantly to it.

Just guessing - ~2 mm

I like them over fish pellets as they are softer and trigger an immediate feeding response in virtually everything. They also stick to tentacles (i.e. Duncans, Torchs, Rics...) The only downside is they are expensive.

I bought from Cherry Corals - About a year ago, Todd put up a couple videos showing a Scoly and Acan devouring them - Here's a video showing the feeding response - It's almost instant...

IME, the copper in these pellets is so negligable that you will not see any negative effects from feeding your corals. I have never stuffed an acan daily w/ the thera+a for a really long period of time, but-

Ive been feeding it to my tank for many years now.

Nice video, Tom. I'm going to have to try some of that stuff. My acans only react that way to mysis.
