    As the poll says, do you feed your dudes?
    If so, what do you feed?
    Do you have different foods for different corals?
    Do you have your own recipe?
    Do you notice a difference in your corals?
    Are there specific corals you target feed?
    etc....

    Give as much info as you can, make up your own questions to answer if you would like. I saw that there are several threads somewhat like this, but I have yet to see a poll.

    I voted no. Because I don't ;)
    The only exception is my non-photosynthetic gorgonian.

    My ricordeas get fed because they are my favorite and I have some yellow polyps that get fed any leftover mysis on the days I feed frozen shrimp.

    All my corals get fed, i do not target feed. I simply add coral axcell in my sump right by the return pump. Doing it this way will distribute the chemical evenly throughout my system
