any tips on how to feed blue ribbon eel.
the blue jaw trigger and the goldbar wrasse just keeps chasing my feeding stick.
if i just drop the food on his cave. will he eat it? not sure if i wanna do this because i cant see inside his cave. and i might end up just piling food in there without him eating.
 
I feed my eel while my triggers, puffer, and tang are eating. Use tongs to get it right in front of them.
 
Use a 2 inch pvc pipe and put feeding stick in it and feed him

That might work, but I had to use an acrylic rod in one hand to swat my blueline away and feeding with tongs in the other. He was relentless, once he latched onto a shrimp, I shook and shook, pulled the shrimp all the way out of the water, he still would not let go, I had to drop the shrimp back into the water with the blueline still attached. My other triggers can be pesky, but I think they fear the eel more than me. The blueline just loves to mix it up.
