Yes, corals and invertebrates do benefit from coral and invertebrate food, but the means of delivering that to them can be different. Some corals and invertebrates respond to direct and targeted feeding; others respond better to eating the nutrients from fish food and environmental natural tank sources. Hence, coral and invertebrate food is varied.
Corals eat zooplankton, bacterioplankton, as well as other food particles. Corals tend to prefer microscopic zooplankton, which they feed on by extending their tentacles.
Not all invertebrates eat the same thing, so it depends on the type of invertebrate to determine its diet. Many invertebrates are carnivores and will eat sea spiders and insects; sea urchins, on the other hand, are herbivores and consume mainly algae and other plants. Invertebrate food can be just as varied as coral and invertebrate food.
