Wanted to get everyone’s take on this- I spot feed my corals with Benepets coral food every other day using a syringe. I turn my pumps off, give each coral some food as close to the mouth as I can and let it sit for about 5-10minutes, then the pumps come on.
Only after the pumps are on and the food is eaten or blown away do my corals put their feeding tentacles out.
1. Are my corals getting the food even if tentacles are not out.
2. Should I feed again once the tentacles are out or spot feed less round one to get a feeding reaction and then give them a larger helping?
(This question is obviously more geared toward my chunkier polyps like scolys acans, candy canes etc. vs zoas and leathers which just pick up what they need in the water column.)
