What tool do you use to feed scallop or other food to your open brain or other corals? I want something long.

BRS sells a two pack of a long and longer tube with a squeeze bulb on the end. It comes with these blue tips but they are two fine for the small chunks and the open tube works just fine. You could DIY this with acrylic tubing of any length you want and an ear bulb or even a syringe if you attached it. I use this for reef chili and it is fairly easy and precise. If wanted something for chunks I would try a syringe version and use it like a vacuum powered mover.

I got a pair (long + short) of these off eBay. I preferred these moulded ones to the style with the removable tips but if you are feeding chunkier food the removable tip style may suit you.


Good luck!

Hi, I use a long turkey baster, it’s just over 2ft (60.96cm) comes in two pieces I’m sure I got it from either Ebay or Amazon in the uk, have done a quick search but sadly the longest I’ve seen is about 11” (27.4cm)
