Does Trachy NEED to be fed?

[88mph]

Hi there,

 

I am reading very different things on whether feeding a trachy is necessary.

 

Please can someone who owns or has owned one tell me whether regularly feeding a trachy is required for their survival?

 

Thank you.

Thanks Albert, I took a look, but the information on that thread is specifically about lobo coral, not trachy.

If it has a mouth(s) and feeders, feed it.

 

Bare minimum of whether or not it's "necessary" isn't going to get your inhabitants to their full potential.

Indeed it is but the care is just about the same.
