Feeding krill question

I recently added a mated pair of cross hatch triggers and a show achillies tang. The tang took off eating but the cross hatch have been very picky. It had been days since they ate and I tried everything under the sun for feeding. I saw they eat krill and bought some. Well the issue I have is that they float? I cant get them to sink. I put one on my tongs as they seemed instantally to attack it. So great I found food they will eat but the problem is I really dont care to hand feed them each time. What do you use to get the food to stay in place so they can eat?

 

What i do with my Krill is i put it in a small cup with tank water let it water logged and they will sink and float around the tank hope this helps...Cool to see another Maine-ah on here...lol

 

I was going to say the same thing, let the krill soak in some tank water, When you see the krill sink in the cup, its ready to feed your fish.

Thank you gents! and yessa im a main ah! I even grew up wayyyy up thar yup.

 

I feed krill the same way, but to my corals. I chop it a little and toss it in a cup with tank water and rehydrate but thats when I add a zip of vitamins and selcon. My clowns can't get enough!!!

 

When I had Triggers and Dog Face and Panther Grouper, they absolutely loved Silver Sides. I fed them Krill also, and some did float but that never stopped any of them, they would surface feed. One other thing I did was after they soaked (over night) I would break them up and they seemed to sink easier.
