how do you feed candy cane coral mysis?

[AndyL]

Turn off lights... wait 30-60 minutes, grab tweezers, place one mysis per head... When done - if any sweepers are out again - repeat.

Don't much like just blowing food in the direction of the heads - loose too much to the cleanup crews that way.

Personally I've gotten into feeding my LPS NLS pellets - little easier, and no reduction in growth.

I sure he means New Life Spectrum. It's a brand of food that comes in flake and pellets.

On the rare occasion that I target feed my LPS, I put a chunk of mysis in a bowl with some saltwater, let it thaw then suck it up with a turkey baster. I find the polyps on my candy cane come out when the lights come off, and I have no issues getting most of the shrimp on the heads. They also tend to like cyclopeeze.
