What is the Best Coral Food or Feeding Method (Particularly for Euphyllias)

[Hasan]

I have a tank that I set up in September. It took me a long time to get over my inexperience and settle my water values. Here are some images from my tank.

There is one thing I am wondering about. What is the best feeding and coloration method or coral food for hammer corals? There are many articles on the Internet, but they are all left in the air. For example, has anyone tried something like that, giving pellet feed to one hammer and not giving it to the other, or giving liquid feed to one tank and not giving it to the other? Continuous phytoplankton? I am aware that every tank is a separate system and even every colony is different, but I believe that some data is more enlightening and guiding than no data.

I’ve read some feeding hammers meaty foods but I have never tried it .
Used to feed mysis and brine along with reef roids .
being in Canada we don’t have access to a lot of the coral foods such as lfs or rods

A couple times a week I will mix either mysis or brine mixed with some reef roids and spot feed all my corals, I'm getting good colour out of all of them so I'm guessing they must like it.

Good question! Bumping this up for more input.

One of my hammer eats nothing that's given to it. Have 2 other ones that eats everything meaty but no powder reef roids. So overall, I think it really depends on the specific hammer.

I wonder if they can ever be trained, or once they spawn it's in their genetic to eat or not.

Aminos plus anything you feed your fish. I like feeding them pellets.
