    They do fine without feeding. Good flow and light will let it thrive. Trying to feed them will likely result in fouling up the tank water.

    ^ also true, if you do feed your corals like I do, once a week about 1 day before a WC. Your GSP will grow given time, and then you wont be able to get rid of it lol

    Agreed. No need to target feed.

    no corals really need feeding, unless your light is so insufficient that they cant pull anything out of it you may want to supplement feeding. but corals host photosynthetic algae to feed them. they dont need feeding.
