Feeding Acropora

[Steeevo66]

Hi what do you guys feed your acropora ??

I don't specifically feed anything to acropora, nor do I believe they actually eat any of these reef foods. I believe that the foods put lipids and proteins into that water which acros absorb. Same goes for fish foods. I have seen acro polyps capture reef nutrition ROE though. Weird because these are large particles. Stylos in particular consume ROE very well.

unnecessary, never seen my acros actually eat. Just keep nutrients are the right levels.

I feed my acros daily. I have a good I picked up from Greenwich aquaria. It's a powder that he makes. My phosphates are at 0.00 too no matter what I feed. I only have two fish. I'm in it for the corals only. I recently read that they need food regularly and my growth has been fast since I started to feed.

Any time I've tried feeding my coral my nutrients get outta control I find its a battle to keep them low as it is no need to add more

No need to feed sps. I haven't even found it necessary to feed any corals for that matter. Never feed my acans or chalices and they grow and color fine. I do add amino but that's pretty recent maybe 5 months ago and that's working for me.

Nothing here either.

The best "food" for my SPS that I've found is Amino Acids. I add AcroPower which is aminos and some other good stuff, reviews are generally all positive.

Fish poop helps. I feed my fish a lot, skim heavily and do large weekly water changes. I like to think of this as a high import/export type of system. I do add roti feast and oyster feast to the fish food when I do feed the fish

Once a week I drop a formula one marine pellet right on him. He closes up and ... Boom all gone.

Depend what kind of Acro. some love even Brine Shrimps , Cyclopes , left over from fish food, i use Fuel also, some grow like 4"-6" from one 1 " in one year, some stay Frag for one year. I will try one AUTO feeder ( buy or DIY ) for night. I feed 1 time a day only.

My apologies, I read the title quick. I was talking about feeding my acans, acropora.

I used to feed live rotifers. That and cyclopeeze were the only thing I actual saw them eat.

They like even Blood worms, Brine Shrimps, i use to defrost the cube in one glass of water then use Food pumps (pipette) .
