i was wondering how do i feed it?

 

[yessongs]

Some migrate so i nice size sand bed might be needed. High light helps. They are slow meaty food eaters, fish wont steal there food under moonlights.
Very sensitive. Rocks can cause damage, oh and salt that fell off the brace on my tank
burned its tissue within seconds.

I have one from house and two from maxpower, and those things are my best growers by far. ive gotten 1.5 inch all around from jim's since the frag swaps and same from maxpower. no need to feed in my opinion just good light/waterflow and maybe some cyclopeeze or phytoplankton once a twice a week. just fyi, i am only speaking on the SPS plate corals i have, dont know about some of the larger polyp ones
