Different options to feed it?

[Natecespinosa]

What options do I have to feed my hammer and help it grow as lush and full as possible? Ive been using a turkey baser to blow brine shrimp on it and it grabs it. Is there anything else i can do to help it grow?
This is it and the food Ive been feeding it.

I feed my lps mysis or pellets, but brine is ok too. And in my experience euphyllia grow best when nitrates are in the 5 ppm range.

Really? Well I somewhat just started the tank, and this is the first coral I got. But as of right now i have a bag of pellets to kill nitrates. I dont know much my uncle who gave me the tank said to put it in. Should I take it out to help? How do i maintain a 5 ppm range of nitrates?

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by pellets to kill nitrates. I guess the ideal condition for a reef tank is to have the nitrates at 0. I was just saying that for me, my lps and softies grew better when the nitrates were slightly higher than 0. So I guess I was basically trying to say that you don't HAVE to keep the nitrates at 0 unless you're going for an sps dominated tank.

What is a sps dominated tank?

A tank that has mostly sps corals.
