Hi. I tried feeding last night by turning off the powerheads after lights off and dropping some thawed out mysis on the corals with a turkey baster. I found it's difficult even with no flow to get the mysis positioned properly to lay on the corals. I saw the hint of some feeding tentacles but I'm not sure any of the few mysis were ever grabbed & consumed. Maybe the mysis are too lightweight to have them sink on to the Favia & Acan corals? That acan I have is a dome shape which also makes it difficult to place anything. I'll see if I can get any frozen or minced prawn, fish or scallop at the lfs - maybe those will sink and "stick" better than the mysis. Would frozen cyclops work any better than mysis or just as light weight?
Can I feed my Euphyllia sp. the same way with the same type meaty foods? Do I need to feed only after dark?
Thanks again.
