Hi All,
Just a question for those of you who have Green Button Polys.
What do you feed them, or do you feed them directly???

I feed my tank Golden Pearls, is this enough? Or should I be feeding them chunks of food?

Thanks,
CaptK

Golden Pearls , I BELIEVE, will not directly benefit green button polyps. I do not directly feed mine, BUT they do get meaty chunks of Formula One when I feed it to the fish. In fact, a large chunk fell into one of the polyps one time and it even ate that! The golden pearls feed the very small critters in your tank, which enable them to produce to feed other things. This may not sound too scientific, but I'm sure someone else can jump in here and explain a little better. HTH

I have both green and red button polys and have never directly feed either over a year they came on the live rock with only a few polys and they have multiplied 5 times over covering most of the rock they are on.

I don't feed mine directly either. As far as I know, button polyps are one of the hardiest corals. Actually I don't think it's considered a coral and maybe someone can back me up or tell me if I'm wrong... isn't it considered a colony anemone? But anyway, I don't feed them and they look sweet.

Sometimes I feed mine shrimp pellets. They love them.
