When I do my normal feeding I begin by turning off the power heads.

I make a mixture of tank water, cyclopeze (frozen), brine shrimp (frozen), vitachem (5 drops), and chromoplex (10 drops).

I feed the corals first and then the fish via turkey baster.

I just spray a decent amount of my mixture on top of the frog spawn and he will form a gooy-mist around the food and begin to take it towards his body. This process can take up to 5-10 minutes.

After I feed the fish and corals I just let it all sit for like 10 minutes then skim really wet right afterwards.

This has worked great for my and my frogspawn is doing good.

For feeding I also turn off all of the flow in the tank. I mix thawed mysis, cyclopeeze, and a few drops of selcon in a cup and let the food soak up the selcon for 5 minutes. I then fill the cup with tank water and spray the mixture over my corals with a turkey baster.

Also, my frogspawn only fully expands in very low water flow, just enough to make the tentacles move slowly. Your coral could also be acclimating to your lighting still and that is why it is not expanding. One week is not a very long time, especially if your tank lighting is much different than the lighting that it was previously kept under.
