Default Mushrooms

You don't need to feed them.

So, they feed on phytoplankton? I guess I better read more about them.

I don't know if they do or not...I just know that I was told to add it
by the lfs, and the back of the bottle seems to indicate that this is
what corals and the like chow on...here's a snippit I found on the
internet about it:
Kent Phytoplex is a highly concentrated complex of aqua cultured,
naturally occurring marine phytoplankton
It contains Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and Isochrysis sp. Tahitian
ranging in size from 2 to 15 microns
Phytoplex provides necessary proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids for
live hard & soft corals, tube worms, clams and other invertebrates
It is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA and is useful in
feeding rotifers and other plankton and in raising larval fish

It seems that, depending on what else you've been adding, your corals
may be hungry But let one of the more experienced guys chime in,
since i'm basically just spitting back out what I've been told, not
what I've seen with my own eyes...for all I know, phytoplex may be a
big scam excuse to charge me 13 bucks every couple months.
