What do you feed small mouthed corals?

I tried crushing pellets into smaller pieces but my chalice and cloves could not swallow them. I noticed some coral foods advertise small micron size. Also, what could a birdsnest coral eat?

I use polyp lab reef roids, I'm not sure if that's considered food but I've seen some great growth from all my corals!

Most of the stuff I've seen is like a liquid or something. I've never fed my corals because I already have a nutrition export issue.

I've been using ESV freeze dried phytoplankton.

Most LPS I feed Mysis or whatever I feed my fish.  SPS I have used Reef Roids, but I don't use it much as there is probably more than enough for them to eat in the water.

+1 fish poop. I also have a coffee grinder that I use to turn pellets into a fine dust, mix with water and use a turkey baster to spot feed any type of coral. I also have a ton of pods in my tanks. I usually rely on poop and pods.

I think the size of the system, the other livestock, and maintenance considerations all make a difference in whether or not you would need or want to add anything extra for the corals.
