How do you feed coral in a tank?
It’s important to offer a variety of foods to find one or more that your coral will accept. This can include diced small fish, thawed frozen plankton, phytoplankton, krill, pieces of shrimp, squid, or clams. These are also known as octopus foods and many saltwater aquarists believe this simplifies coral feeding.
Can you feed coral too much?
You can’t hurt your corals by feeding them too much. They only eat what they need. On the other hand, you could hurt your tank by adding too much organics through overfeeding. So, your overfeeding will be to the tank not the corals, that is if you dont have adequate nutrient export to keep up with your feeding.
What is the best time to feed corals?

Terrestrial plants, like those found in our garden, favor colors in the yellow, orange, and red range while corals favor colors in the blue spectrum. As water depth increases, the reds, oranges, and yellows are gradually filtered out, leaving more blue light.
What Colour light is best for corals?
It is widely agreed that the most beneficial wavelengths for coral growth and health are what the human eye perceives as the blue spectrums. For that reason most reefers will turn those UV, violet and blue spectrums to the maximum and then add in white until it looks appealing.
