Who Gives A Fish Forums

Has anyone tried adding a bit of garlic extract to the food? I've heard it can stimulate feeding response, but I'm not sure if it's safe for corals.

garlic's fine, just don't overdo it. a drop or two per feeding is plenty. my lfs swears by it, but i've never seen a huge difference with my shrooms.

I think consistency matters more than the specific food. Find something they like and stick with it. Switching too often can stress them out.

Garlic's safe in small amounts, but it's more effective for fish. Corals don't have the same receptors, so it's kinda hit or miss. I'd focus on the food itself first.
