Which food is best for SPS (Kent, Seachem, DT's , etc.)? Do you constantly drip the food? If yes, how much/fast?

In 13 yrs I've not fed my corals, anemones, clams, directly but feed my fish heavily so I presume that also takes care of my whole tank.
However, the only sps I have is a hydnaphora so I haven't any experience to help you with on this.
You might find this interesting though, in one of this months online mags.

I feed the polyps of SPS baby brine shrimp eggs that are decapsulated. Oyster eggs also work well. I would venture to say that other macro foods are too large for SPS.
Oh, and IMO, do NOT continuously drip the food. You are looking to get a decent density in the water column for the corals to feed. If it is too dilute (slow drip) it's hit-or-miss whether the corals can catch enough before it gets filtered away.
I typically feed about 3 times a week. I mostly have LPS and polyps, but I think SPS should be fine on the same type of feeding schedule.
