I have a bunch of micromussa lordhowensis colonies that I really like. They are always super hungry and want to eat everyday but whenever I feed them two things happen 1. I waste a bunch of super expensive oyster feast as it dilutes into the rest of the tank making my tank dirty in the process, or 2. If it's during the day my fish swoop in and gobble it all up.

So I made this to target feed them. I end up using way less food. my corals are better fed and have been growing faster and my P04 is down because of less pollution. I plan to make another with a larger mouth for my bigger colonies.

I might make a video of me feeding them later.
