Whats the best way to feed the brain corals?

I believe brain corals are photosynthetic and do not require feeding outside of a little for supplement. You can try feeding it thawed frozen food through a turkey baster once or twice a week.

Nope, they don't "require" feeding, but a target feeding from time to time isnt a bad thing. I'd probably not do it more than once a week, but any common meaty fish food (frozen is usually the common fare) will do.

I always spot feed all my coral, I turn off circulation, and feed the phytoplankto, and cyclops, once a week each, om different days, all the coral seems to love it. I turn on the circ about 10-15 mins later.

They are photosynthetic and don't require feeding. But some meaty foods every once in a while won't hurt. My lobo likes small pieces of krill. I squirt a little phyto above it to elicit a feeding response then hand feed it the krill. One small piece makes it happy happy. Have to play hall monitor to make sure the shrimps don't snatch it away though.

i would occasionally feed mine pieces of krill. it responded well when food was presented.

I try to feed my brains occasionally but if I am feeding other things and I see them start to open up I feed them. My Bleeding apple scolly will open up when I put NORI in the water.

i dont feed my brain corals anything really and they were very plump. I started feeding them phytofeast and they gotten even more juicy looking.
