Hungry lobster
 
I have a hungry purple lobster, I have just been feeding him brine with the rest of the crew but he needs a little more and I am having a tough time getting a bigger chunk to him without it floating away. Any suggestions?

Hi areefdream, for those that don't come out for feeding right away, I use a long wooden skewer and place it front of where they like to hang out, I use for example prawns for feeding or scallops, see if that works for you. regards Ken

That's what I was going to suggest. You can buy frozen Krill in nice small packs and they are bigger, so they are easy to skewer and get to the lobster.

I haven't owned a lobster but I will sometimes put a fresh clam or mussel on the half shell in the tank and most critters just love it.
