I would have to first ask when you feed phyto how do you do it? The reason I ask, when I feed corals I shut off all my pumps so there isn't water movement then I squirt the food all over the tank, let it sit for 15 minutes or so, by that time all the corals have had a chance at some and then I turn the pumps back on... there will still be food in the water so they should continue to feed...

I agree with Clown Xenia seem to love iodine. My pulsing xenia spread like weeds and all I do is add iodine, no phyto. But be careful when adding it, you really don't want to overdose your tank with that
