What and When do corals eat?

I currently have xenia, toadstool, mushrooms and zoas...I have been feeding zooplex, just adding it to the tank. Do I need anything else?

 

the Xenia, mushrooms, and zoas don't need anything but light. you can add zooplex but they would still do well if you didn't.
some mushrooms like a hairy mushroom will except meaty foods like shrimp but not all mushrooms will.

 

same question.

Thanks RHorton.

 

Thanks Rhorton!

 

Those corals mentioned do not require feeding as they are symbiotic with light representing the majority of their food and nutrition. Xenia and most mushrooms may absorb nutrients form the pelagic areas of your tank but, adding liquid foods could diminish your water quality rather quickly if not done carefully. I very rarely feed my corals other than that that is added when feeding my fish and invertebrates.
