Thanks Tan,

I have read this before. Just need some clarification. Is that means those polyp require live food to survive and iodine and TE is just for supplement ?

Can normal fish food being feed to polyp ? if yes , how ?

Sorry this is my first time in marine...

what kind of lighting do you have? if you have enough light you don't have to feed it. don't have to add iodine water changed is enough

I was told by LFS that i need to have blue and white light. Since my tank is just 2feet, i decided to change my lamp to those 36W PLS light. Is this sufficient ?

BTW do you mean that polyp basically do not need alot of care if the lighting is right ?
