Thieving Clowns and Shrimp

[Treebeard]

Hi everybody!

I am a very new to this highly addictive past time and just stumbled across these forums today. There is a ton of great information here and I have already spent a couple of hours reading old threads.

Back to the problem....I have been hand feeding a bubble coral small bits of shrimp a couple of times a week (also a couple of brittle stars) but one of the clowns and cleaner shrimp have caught on and steal the shrimp before the bubble can ingest it. The clown tries to grab the shrimp from the forceps before I can even get it to the coral. Any suggestion on how to get the food to the intended recipient would be greatly appreciated!
