Feeding Chalices

[Anthrax15]

My watermelon and BGM chalices don't send out feeder tentacles at night. If I were to cut a water bottle in half and try to feed them, would it work?

If so, what would be the best food to feed them?

Look into fauna marine lps pellets. Crumble them over ur chalice and they will start eating. And blow up

I feed mine mysis, rods food and cyclopeeze. Mine doesn't put out feeders until the lights go out but if I squirt food on a eye/mouth it opens and takes the food (if one of my fish doesn't eat it first ). The cut water bottle might help with that .

I've tried to spot feed them after lights go out but didn't see any tentacles and the food never stayed by the chalices. I'm thinking if I spot feed them with the water bottle over them, it may work. Did you find spot feeding them to help growth?

I think it does based on my experience but I also feed my corals fairly often. Mine certainly stays pretty fleshy after a feeding of just a couple of mysis.

I'm gonna try the water bottle trick though to keep my melenarus wrasse from licking the plates (i.e., corals). Thanks for the tip !

I use Marc Weiss Organics Blackpowder
Just a few moments of putting this into my tank for broadcast feeding the tentacles come right out. I take this to mean that he likes it

i feed mine zooplankton at night. i see all of my corals feeding from it. also, when feeding, you should put in some coral amino acids. it will boost color and growth.

I feed mine during the day. Turn off flow, drop food on their mouths and give them time, they will eat it. If anything tries to steal their food then put a bottle over the coral.

what product do you use?

i feed mine a mix of coral frenzy , cyclopse , mysis , brine and some marine snow along with amino acids

I spot feed mine mysis during the day and they take the food well. The water bottle trick works well if something tried to take its food.

i have never had any of my chalices show feeding tenticles. i didnt know they really had them.
