    So I have some marine snow, and was wondering if theres anything better out there for feeding planktivore corals such as my Red non photosynthetic tree coral? Or should I just stick with my marine snow and use that for the coral?

    With feeding, since I will be spot feeding it, with a liter bottle. cut in half so It doesnt fully fly around the tank as much and I don't have to use as much.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks again :) possible +K for help/opinions.

    I love my coral freenzy and cyclopeeze (sp) or spot feeding those types of corals...

    The species i got requires zooplankton... So I wasnt sure if cyclopeeze would help, i have that as well...

    Marine snow is much more water than plankton. Try this stuff called reef bugs. Apparently it is zooplankton in it's cyst form and it becomes alive when introduced to water. Works nicely for me :)
