feeding fox corals?

Can you feed them like other LPS? I've never seen a site that says how, and mine doesn't seem to just want to grab food off of my fingers like the others I have do. Is there a trick to it, or is it like my LRS said "you don't have to target feed them. Really you can't since they don't have feeding tentacles." I'd assume that since they have definate mouths that there is some way to get them to accept food, right?

i have fed mine with cyclopeeze. just squirted it at the mouthes. then watched it suck it down.

I tried that yesterday and it didn't take it. Maybe I'll try again in a couple of days when it is less stressed from being moved.

alright, i use to keep these. The thing with these is they are from an area of VERY LOOWWW flow. They don't have sweeper tentecles, unlike any other LPS...... But, if you turn off youre pumps and flow, and drop some mysis onto them they will fold up and take it, like a mushroom......... This alone tells me of their feeding habits, and that they would have to come from an area of very low flow in order to feed like this. Try it, you'll see. Hope you don't have any shrimp or fish that like to steel food, cause its a slow process.

I feed mine cyclopeeze. Turn off all the pumps and put a bit right on its mouth.
