What do you feed your polyps??

[Sir Patrick]

Just curious- what are you zoa lovers feeding you polyps, if anything?? Do you have a different method/food preferance for zoas vs. palys? What feeding method are you using?

Would like to hear what everyone is doing.

[Sir Patrick]

I broadcast feed- for my fish and coral, all in one!

I feed my tank Reef Stew. It contains-

cyclopeeze
squid
fresh shrimp
PE mysis shrimp
mackerel
gobies
cuttle fish
octopus
rotifers
prawn roe
Nori
krill
fomula 2
Omega One Marine Pellets
Omega One Veggie Pellets
Omega One Flakes
Golden Pearls (mix of sizes)
ESV Spray Dried Phytoplankton
Reef Chili
Reef Roids
Zoplan Zoaplankton


basicaly everything everyone in the tank needs. Big peices for the fish and small peices all the way down to bite size for zoas/sps!!

My tank loves the stuff!!! I get excellent growth- and beleive alot of it is due to the tank feedings.

I WAS feeding my tank that way, until the aiptasia came along, i have a coral banded LAZY shrimp in the tank so i cannot put in any peppermints, joes juice just ****es them off and makes them reproduce, now i feel like i cannot broadcast feed anymore. Suckers arent starving still that's for sure.......wah!!!

I don't directly feed my z's or p's but do feed the tank a few times a week. I use Reef Nutritions RotiFeast, Oyster Eggs, and Arctic Pods. I feed Rod's coral blend as well as Fauna Marin LPS foods.
Mostly I rely on quality fish poop to do the job of feeding the sticks and polyps!

I feed Rod's food and assorted pellets along with my home brew. I rely on fish pooh for my corals.
