Feeding corals

[lsu_fishfan]

How do all of you feed your corals without the crabs and snails trying to steal it from them?

Tagging along. With my biocube it was fairly easy to use a small pipette to squirt some food at LPS. But I'm pretty much at a loss how to do it with a 24" tank, zoa's, and SPS.

Fish poop and any food they can get incidentally when I feed my fish.

That's how you treat your kids too isn't it. LOL.

Option 1: Lay food near your snails such as small pellets or flakes. Allow them to eat on that then spot feed your corals.

Option 2: Remove your snails/crabs into a plastic bowl while you feed then return afterwards.

Option 3: Broadcast feed and hope all your corals get some food.

Option 4: Feed your dwarf cerith to an acan and see if it eats it.
