Clams, feather dusters, gorgonians and some soft corals (like carnations) eat phyto. Not SPS. I feed mine a mixture of cyclopeeze, daphnia, rotifers, baby brine, & oyster eggs. Some corals may only eat a specific sized food, that's why I feed the mixture. Sort of a shotgun approach. I also feed at night. In the wild, plankton migrate vertically. They sink down to deep water during the day and come up to the surface where the corals are at night. That's why you get better polyp extension on some corals at night. That's their natural time to feed.
