LPS daytime feeding

Well some of my LPS gets hungry during the day so I decided to feed them today. The two frags of this morph of acan are my olny acans tha come out during the day.

I think the little baby acans on the first pic are awesome. Also do you just not have any fish that are waiting around for an easy meal during the day?

Great pictures!

I like feeding during the day. All it seems to take is putting in a little cyclop-eeze into the water to get those feeders out. Then I can target feed while the lights are on. It makes it so much more easy.

I have to defend my brain with the feeding tongs to keep my Tailspot Wrasse at bay. He circles like a hungry wolf pack and if I lose concentration, he swoops in.

I put a fish net around mine even at night when I feed or my 6-line will eat it all...he even wakes up at night and grabs the food.

My fish haven't stolen dinner right from the mouths of my LPS yet. My Clarkii and shrimps use to steal from my anemone though!

All I have to do is put my hand in the water and all of My Acans and Micros put feeders out. Greedy little suckers!

Sweet pics!

This might seem like a cruel trick.. but my fish hide when the net touches the water...

so when my LPS needs feeding and I need the fish to go away.. I put the net into the water and while they are hiding I feed my LPS... 15 mins later, when they realise the net is gone.... the LPS is fed.
