Rod's coral food & cyclopeze work for lots of corals. for corals you listed I'd buy some raw shrimp, oysters, mussels, clams or fish and chop/ blender it up and feed small chunks. takes a bit of time but it's pretty cheap and not very hard.

Pick up some Coral Frenzy, it's awesome.

Must you buy? No, being photosynthetic they really don't "need" a lot of extra food. If you have fish they may be taking in some of their poo.

However, you are doing well with the mysis.

noted

read from liveaquaria that they require Calcium, Strontium, Trace Elements.
is it necessary to dose them? i change 20% of water once every 2 months

cheers

Do you guys feed your SPS or LPS at all? Is Reef chili still around?
