Should I be feeding my LPS?

I have a mostly SPS reef with one sole Favia.
I'm starting to loose some tissue on a couple of heads, should I be feeding it?
If so, with what?

Yes you can do that like what I'm doing now 2x a week with new era pellets got from az aqua valley it really works for my lps :)

It wouldn't hurt, and if you make it part of your feeding regime it could get nice and healthy again in no time...

Have you had it for a long time? I had one that started slipping after I moved it under too much light. I also had a flame angel that took a liking to pecking at it, so keep at eye out for fish culprits too!

I feed about as often as kole, a couple times a week, roughly.

Thanks guys, but how do I stop my fish from eating the pellets?

Cheebs

It can be a hassle... I try to feed the corals after feeding the fish, that way they are a bit less aggressive. Cleaner shrimp are real butt-heads too for nabbing food from corals.
