Going to attach a video of me feeding some new palys I just got. Barely 48hours in my tank, but they are eating like pigs. No idea what the name of these are and the reef store is also clueless. They are about the size of gobstoppers though and likely a magician morph. If you've seen them before chime in.
My technique is to soak a cube of frozen brine shrimp in tank water. I then use a long stick with airline tubing attached, suck up some of the brine shrimp and gently blow it into the mouths of the palys. Pumps off of course. They close up fast, and after a few minutes are as tight as tulip bulbs to absorb the protein.
After about half an hour they are fully open. Ive found most palys benefit from one, maybe two feedings a week in terms of faster growth, but beyond that they dont grow faster.
