I've tried that method several times. Found that it moves to easily.
I use a 24" piece of tubing like that found on the magnum 350 canister filters. Thaw the food and pour it down the tube. Works great!

I do this a lot. Coupled with "stagnant-water feedings" this method works great.

Some corals can take forever to gobble something down so the bottle tends to have dual purpose in that it can keep fish and invertebrate from robbing said specimen!

I've personally used it and it works well unless you have greedy fish. A friend of mine used it and his Sailfin tang kept pushing it over to eat the food in it. :tongue:
