Feeding Mysis/Oyster Feast

I've been mixing a cube of mysis with tank water to thaw, and adding about 1/4 tsp of oyster feast and stirring when I feed. Once or twice a week so far.

When I target feed my LPS - how many mysis shrimp should each mouth receive? The acan lords seem to suck in as many as I'll give them and never seem to quit. The bubble coral ate a whole chunk that it managed to grab, the frogspawn ate several on each of its two mouths.

I also saw my rainbow favia suck up a whole mysis today for the first time. I didn't know it would do that, I'd been blow by feeding it oyster feast instead. Wow!

Ok, that's my adventure and question of the day. Thanks for helping this newbie! :beer:

A few is fine. Just not the whole cube :)

No problem!
 
If you blow a little of the "broth" by them they'll put out they're tentacles and then place one or two in each head and the mysis should stick and they'll pull them in.
