Feeding corals? having trouble.

[brad23]

I'm having a probem feeding my corals, everytime I try and some food on them or spray some on with a baster it just blows off. I do have a lot of flow. mag 9.5 and 2 seio 820s in a 75g.

But the corals don't even look like they are trying to feed. I don't see any extensions or anything coming out of them.

I have a mix of Zoos, LPS and softies.

Shutt off the flow maybe for 20 min or also just keep a minimun flow while you feed them.:)

shut your pumps off during feeding, let things calm down the gently target feed them.

I bought a controller for my Tunze. It has a feed button which stops it for 5 minutes. Works well - wish the feed timer was a little longer though.

Ok I'll try turning off the both the Sieos each time I try to feed them.

Should I try bigger chunks of meat other than Mysis?

Different corals may extend "tentacles" at different times of the day. For example, I have quite a few candy canes that extend only at night.

My candy canes eat, but my open brain wouldn't take the peace of shrimp I put in its mouth. It's just sitting there and he's not touching it with lights on and off.

I turned the powerheads off to fee them.
