Don't bother. Mushrooms don't need to be fed. Many corals do fine just sucking up organic and inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus from the water. FWIW, feeding corals really should be left to the very experienced aquarist who has a lot of expericne with their corals. With the huge variation between species prefference it's difficult to determine what ot feed one coral and how to do it without causing problems for another coral that has different requirements.
