Hello Yusuf,
Thank you for your interest in Reef-roids.
To go direct to the point the answer is yes. Of course, such statement coming from the manufacturer need to be substantiate. Direct coral feeding wasn’t a common practice back 20 years ago. While we knew some types of corals (NPS) and anemone required an external source of food, general knowledge was that photosynthetic corals didn’t need it and were fine with detritus commonly present in salt water column. With free nutrients and flow all was good.
It is still correct to go that route in large exhibits and heavy bio-load environments but for smaller tanks and/or large scale growth farm external feeding is necessary and essential to keep them happy and, in some instances, alive.
I joined a 2012 research that you can refer to
Please get back to me if you have any additional questions
