Feed More = Grow Faster?

[Reefer08]

If I fed my acan lord frequently by target feeding that mean it will grow faster vs me not target feeding it? Also do filter feeding coral respond to growth increases by feeding them phytoplanton frequently? How often does everyone here feed their corals? Thanks

The coral might grow more rapidly if fed directly. That depends on what's limiting the growth and how the water quality responds. I might try feeding a bit, but I'd be watching the situation carefully.
