I keep mine Mysis every 2-3 days. For me I get the best results in the morning, since the 'tentacles' come out about 30minutes after the atinics go out, and I am already off to bed by then.

I feed all my "feedable" LPS and anemones in the evening. All the feeder tentacles come out about an hour before lights out. I feed them Piscine Mysis twice a week. Just recently I started feeding the smaller polyped LPS that can't take in a chunk of mysis (like Favia, and an odd type of brain coral) I turn the pumps off and mix 1/8 tsp Coral Frenzy in about 1/4 cup tank water, then use a turkey baster to suck that up, and target feed them. I only do the Coral Frenzy thing once a week. Also, my tank gets dosed with ZEOvit Pohl's Coral Vitalizer and Sponge Power daily.

Silversides are a bit too big for LPS. Stick to mysis and feed in low/no light and low/no flow (pumps off)

Thanks everyone. I'll try the pop bottle method to see if I can induce regular feeding response with Mysis. Hopefully this will wake up the feeding response.

Cheers.
