duuno sum1 delivered it to me. But in the pic he showed me it was fully expanded. My stupid cleaner shrimp does rip at him when i try to feed it. i only fed it once with some mysis mixed with phyto and reef roid

Cut a pop bottle top off and feed it like that for a bit it will keep the strong flow off it crabs and shrimp away give it time to heal

[jason604]

Do I just leave the pop Bottle there till it's healed or only when feeding is done

[Craigdillman]

I left mine in the tank for a bit doesn't hurt and gives it the chance to heal

i keep my feeding tube in the tank when i feed my acans and i chase off the fish for prob 20 min allowing the corals to completely consume the food. you could also do this if you're willing to deal with the inconvenience.

also make sure your shrimp aren't tearing at it at night. my peppermints got ousted for this very reason.
