What I am using right now is a plastic pop bottle with the bottom cut off and a piece of rigid 3/8" plastic tubing running down the center. I press the mysis into the end while it's frozen. Then I place the bottle over the coral with the tubing right above the head and use a turkey baster on the opposite end to push the mysis out slowly.
The bottle is just to keep the water flow from washing the mysis away b4 the coral has a chance to grab it. That and it helps to keep the fish away as well.
I am looking for a large syringe right now to replace the turkey baster and make it even easier and more controlled. With a syringe a person could draw the mysis into the tube in a thawed state and control the delivery much more as well.
I am sure there are other/easier methods though.
