I was feeding my corals and for kicks I put a blood worm on my lime green cyphastria that I got in WWC's live sale. I expected my nacho cheese chalice to eat it but the I thought the cyphastria had too small of mouths. To my surprise it manuvered the blood worm around and swallowed it starting from one end! I do need to come up with a better way to feed my corals. Too many pellets end up off my corals. Think I will get an extra long pair of tweezers and super glue a small compartment on the end. Anyone come up with a better answer than the turkey baste type of feeder?
 
At Wal-Mart they have plastic bottles with tipped ends on them, makes feeding easy. I mix up reef nutrition oyster feast and reef roids to feed the tank and get a feeding response then with the pumps off I target feed all the corals with the same mixture. Those bottles are very handy.
 
Where are these bottles at in walmart. Will try it. Really looking for a way to put sinking pellets right on blastos and such.
 
I use an eye dropper. The only downside is having to reach in the water to feed. I have seen some cool looking long pipettes as well.

For the pellets I soak in water and suck into the eye dropper.
 
Yea trying not to put my arm in the tank up to my arm pit. I have the kent sea squirting but the sinking pellets start falling out of it as soon as I put it in the water.
 
To use the bottles I found you'd have to put your arm in the tank so you might not like it. Publix turkey baster works well too.
