Turn off you pumps and feed a mysis or two with a turkey baster after the lights are out. LPS like to feed in the dark in low current. It's useful if you have moonlights. I usually find that a bit of cyclopeeze and/or selcon provokes a feeding reaction with the tentacles coming out.

Remember to feed sparingly and with very small bits of food - nothing larger than mysis. I've read studies where larger amounts of food were simply regurgitated undigested by LPS after several hours.

I use a small plastic salad collander to protect the coral when my shrimp try for an easy meal. A few squirts from the turkey baster usually shoos them away.
