Question What do you feed your bubble coral?

Looking for suggestions on food choices for target feedings, what do you use? Right now I have been feeding the fish a variety of formula 1, formula 2, brine shrimp plus, and prime reef. Are any of those good choices to target feed the bubble or should I go with something specific?

Do you just let the shrimp land on the flesh part of the coral or is ther a mouth?

theres a mouth in the very middle of it if you look hard, I feed mine mysis, scallops and shrimp, It reallys loves the scallop and shrimp tho, i cut a small piece of scallop and gently lay it on the mouth, or nudge it in just a tiny bit very gently, then he gobbles it up slowly,
