Every time i try to spot feed the corals that benefit from consuming meaty foods, or my nems, these two go on a spree ripping food from every tentacle in the tank that has ahold of some.

Is there anything I can do or a product to use to protect the corals while they eat? My poor lobo and scoly can’t take much more of this.

Not that I know of, might have to remove the fish…
 
There are some covers you can purchase that are like temporary cages you place over the coral while they are eating. Usually sold for mushrooms, but they can be used for any coral. I think printed reef might make some I’ve seen in the past.

Thank you, I’ll look into it
