 Topic: cyclopeeze

I got some cyclopeeze the other day and put a bit in my tank; I've heard people say they feed their SPS with this stuff but it looks far too big for an SPS to eat to me. What are you opinions on SPS eating this stuff? Has anyone "seen" their corals eat it?

I know that my LPS, zoo's, brains, fish and inverts all love it. I'm not sure about the SPS. I'm with you, it looks too big for them.

pmpt have you seen zoas eat it? Mine just ignore it. I don't think my pink skunk clown can see the tiny critters so he doesn't eat it either.

All the time. They will close up around them and then after a minute or two they open back up again. And I see the little bugs on the edges. All my fish eat it, yellow tang, blue tang, purple tang, two clowns, and a coral beauty. I don't think it really fills them up, but they go crazy when I put it in my tank.

Everything including SPS eat it in my tank too.
I have direct flow going into my SPS and I put the cyclopese in that stream
so it blows through the sps, it gets all "caught up" in the polyps.
All my fish eat it too (cept the lawnmower blennie) My fish go crazy over
it, including my skunk. it's almost all I feed my fish.
Even my shrimp come to the surface to get some.

I use the froxen kind and everything in my tank eats it. (I do not have SPS) But, all of my fish, LPS, softies and inverts eat this stuff. They love it.

Yep I use the frozen kind. Take the frozen block (opened on one end)
wave it back in forth submerged in high flow, it melts away release the
cyclopeeze.
