    HI guys

    I have the freeze dried powdered cyclop eeze that i wish to feed to my corals ( xenia, mushroom, glove, open brain, torch etc ) . How do i feed it effectively so that my corals actually get it. ;D my LFS suggested me to just put some on the water surface and the corals will get it. but from what i see it just floats and the fishes will eat it. any help and suggestion welcomed :cheesy:

    i've read that u can thaw it with tank water and use a syringe to put it near the corals, is that the best method?

    Most people shut the tanks down so there is no current blowing the food around. And most people have a turkey baster or eye dropper to do the target feeding. You dont want to blast them with the food either. Just get it close and let it fall to them. Feed the fish some so they dont steal it from the corals.

    Only 2 of your corals will actually eat the cyclopeeze so feed it sparingly. I would just soak it in some tank water for a few minutes before dumping it in your tank.
