What size particles do SPS corals eat? I know it has to be small, but can it be too small?

I made a DIY coral food with lots of different sea foods that were blended in the blender, and several frozen fish foods and cyclopeze, daphnia, ect... mixed in afterwards.

It just seems like the food is either big like mysids, or small, so small i cant see the particles. It just looks more like a slurry.

Particle sizes of under 200 microns is best for SPS corals, which essentially means that things like cyclopeeze, daphnia, and baby brine are usually too big. If the particles you're seeing in your food are smaller than that then there's a good chance they're feeding your SPS.
