best way to feed brains and lobo's?

well i just picked up a few pieces from a place that wasn't caring for them properly. they don't look the greatest yet but really have some potential here. just wondering what would be the best way to help these guys along. thanks.

they all can be fed mydsis shrimp except i would use something smaller for the brain , but the lobos will do the mydsis . feed at night and you are trying to feed them not the whole tank so you have to target feed them ,turkey baster or kent marine squirter works best . you may have to drill out the tip a little. basically spray a little on them and observe what they do and you will learn with close observation.the center is where their mouth is but they will movr it there themselfs.try it and keep us posted

well i fed my whole tank a ton of rods food today and one of the brains caught some food but the others did not. i think i may wait a few days before feeding the directly to let them "settle in" to their new tank. any other advice is welcome. thanks

first of all dont feel like you have to feed them ,they will do fine catching the missed particles from the fish feeding . and dont over feed the tank . if you are gonna feed them loose food and not target feed them this is how you do it . first thaw the pods and put a very small amount of the food in the tank ,just so they can smell that its feeding time . wait till you see them extending their polyps then feed the tank . you must keep in mind the corals that you have there are slow growers and feeding them is probably gonna litter the tank more than help it unless you target feed them as illistrated above . can you post a picture of your whole tank so i can see what you have in there ?
