Re: feeding my sun coral...... £22??? dont whinge, mine cost £18!!!! i hate you now- not fair!! lol!
i feed mine with the lights on, it gets used to it. i also moved my bit to somewhere i could get to it all, its not fun avoiding bristeworms to feed coral! i just use a plastic syringe thing, its easier to control, can give each mouth one or two shrimps at a time!! found it much quicker too, used to use a little pipette thing, was a pain! |

Re: feeding my sun coral...... i feed it as much as it'll eat the only problem with this is i have to remove the left over food each time as there is quite a bit ( i use an air line as it removes less water)

Re: feeding my sun coral...... Quote:
if you use a syringe or pipette to feed it, feed each polyp at least a couple of mysis each, and if it eats them and sticks its tentacles back out it wants more so give it some more! never have to remove any, a few bits get away but thats what the scavengers are in there for...!  |
