Who Gives A Fish Forums

Appreciate the feedback - definitely simplifies the feeding process for me.

Hey everyone,

I've been keeping a reef tank for a few years now, and I recently made the switch to mostly SPS with a few LPS corals. Lately, I've been thinking about feeding my LPS corals individually. My main question is, when I target feed the individual mouths or corallites, does that provide ...

You might also want to think about the order in which you add the fish. I'd say, introduce the less aggressive ones first and save the most aggressive for last. That way, they're not stressing out the others.

I'd suggest choosing between the 6 line and the Royal Gramma, having both might not be the best idea.

One thing I've noticed is that it retracts its polyps for a bit every day, usually after the ...

Apologies, I sometimes forget not everyone's a seasoned reefkeeper like myself.

As someone with years of experience keeping freshwater fish, I've found that saltwater fish aren't necessarily harder to care for. However, the saltwater environment is far more demanding and requires a much stricter routine. Neglecting this routine can have disastrous consequences, causing your ...
