I personally like to use cyclopeeze..frozen, easy and the tank goes crazy! Only needs very little amounts as well. Phyto is good, I used to use it as well but it's just dumping extra phosphates in my tank, IMO. Check out Reef Nutrition they have a whole line of refrigerated "coral and invert" type foods.
I have a softy,LPS with a few caps and I only feed the Fungia coral.
Every once in a while I'll feed some frozen cyclopeeze(but very small amounts).
You can spark one heck of a cyano bloom feeding corals.
It's best just to feed the fish and let the corals get a little,but get most from the lighting.

I have never intentionally fed any corals in my system, but I do feed my fish on the heavy side.
What types of corals are you trying to feed? Some softies and most lps will take smaller meaty type foods, but imo none of them NEED to be fed unless they are non photosynthetic. SPS definitely don't need to be target fed.
Chances are you won't have anything in your system except for the clam that will consume phytoplankton. There is no need to add it to your system. Most of it will disperse in the water column and will not be consumed. If you really want to add phyto, scrape the algae off the inside of the glass. It's free and is pretty much the same thing.

I only feed my LPS (acans and sun corals mainly) and I feed them mysis, brine and krill.
I do stir up the sump a few times a week and the SPS seem to love it because their polyps get really extended...
