Was just wondering what everyone feeds their torch coral. Also, I have a hammer coral that I would like to know if i could feed something to it. Any help would be nice.
 
I feed mysis and brine shrimp to my LPS corals about once a week, they seem to enjoy it.
 
Basically anything relatively small and meaty. You'll have to experiment to find out exactly what they will accept, as each colony seems to have its own preferences.
 
Thanks for the advice. guess ill start trying out different food until i see which works.
 
I didn't realise you had to feed it!!... I have never actively fed mine, it just grows.. and my wife thinks that the unidentified coral that has spontaneously started to grow in the sump is torch coral.. and I have never fed that either..!

I think it just gets the left overs from the fish.
 
Mine were growing well for several months before I started spot feeding them, so I'm pretty sure its not a requirement. They do show increased growth rates since I started though.
 
Thanks, I knew it was not a requirement I just wanted to know what could be feed to just give them a treat every now and then.
 
I feeds the whole tank with marine snow. mine doesn't like taking anything. i have tried cyclopeeze and the coral took it then spit it out. so, i don't hand feed and already got more of them than my tank can hold. hopefully, i'll find bigger used tank soon.

I'm glad that we have realised that it isn't a requirement.

Of course we have to realise also that any type of perception of growth increase due to spot feeding is merely a perception, and can only be that without any elaborate controlled studies.... which our hobble lacks.
