I picked up a free sample of this at a recent swap. It's a tiny tube, like the size of one of my pinky finger knuckles. I did a water change Wednesday and spot fed a few corals this stuff. I could swear my PPE zoas were larger than normal on Thursday, my goni was more extended, and my rics were also more swollen.

I have 40 - 50 different corals and only fed a few of them because most others I do not want growing faster than they already are. My tank is a 125g w/ 20 or so gallon sump. I do 5g water changes once every week or every other week. Could the positive changes be from the water change? Possibly. Water changes are the only time I plan on doing these feedings so I won't be able to try to feed on any other day to record my findings.

I will try to get some pics up later and plan on documenting my results here. I'll probably focus on my PPE and my goni in this thread. I received the goni on 3-29-18 as a stock frag from Unique Corals. It was a small chunk glued to a plug. I popped it off the plug and glued it to a rock. It has not grown onto the rock in all that time(10 months). I got my PPE around the same time and went from 1 polyp to(I think - I'm not at home) 11.

I feed only frozen. LRS reef frenzy and Mysis. I think the tiny bottle would last me a month with the limited amount of corals I am feeding, but I plan on getting a jar this weekend if my LFS has it. If not, I'll order some and keep feeding. No promises on monthly progress pics, but I'll try.
