I just have a few questions about some LPS that i recently got.
Can you overfeed LPS? im not talking about overfeeding the tank but the corals themselves.
To be more specific i am talking about an Aussie Lord, Blasto's, Enchinata.
Can you feed the blasto's bigger pieces of shrimp or krill? or is krill to big for it to digest?
I have been spot feeding them at night when some of these pieces have been extending their feeding tentacles.

For these corals you are better to stick with putting cylopeeze in your tank twice a week--there is freeze dried and the frozen--I prefer the frozen stick
I usually feed after the halides have turned off and the attinics are still on--turn the main pump off for an hr and keep the ph's on in the tank for circulation
Larger pieces tend not to be eaten by the coral and if you don't have a good clean up crew can turn into ammonia, nitrates and phosphates possible causing an algae problem

I targetfeed BBS and seem to have much better results that way then they eating cyclopeze.
