Iv just started my reef tank and have a few soft corals that came with the live rock.
Im also hoping to buy a few more as soon as I can afford to so on to my question
Do I need to feed them and if yes what should I feed them ?.
Thanks

no real need to feed them if you have fish as they will eat the same stuff, plus they will feed off the light. however, you can buy off the shelf foods for soft corals which are usually very convenient to use.

i use salifert coral food which covers a wide range of corals and filter feeders.

no need to feed them as they will pull the nutrients out of the water as they need then
