    I have two leather, one duncan polyp, some trumpet corals(aka candycane), hammerhead coral, green flourescent mushrooms. I'm new to corals but have had my tank up for over a year and thought it was time for corals. Just not sure how often to feed them so I don't create nitrates by overfeeding. Oh and I also have a bubble anemone now and have been told to only feed it twice a week. Not sure and would appreciate any replies

    I do my duncans once a fortnight with mysis/brine shrimp and my bubble with a bit of squid or similar once a fortnight as well...

    hope that helps...

    edit: just read bubble nem as apposed to bubble coral... disregard
