feeding sun coral

So in an uncharacteristic move for me, I bought something at the swap on Saturday that I knew very very little about - care wise, etc...

A nice , good sized Sun Coral Colony from the Louisiana Reef Club...

I've been reading up on what to feed it... most suggest mysis, sometimes cyclop-eeze, the guy from the Louisiana Reef Club even said to lay an entire piece of shrimp over the top of it....

So my question is, what exactly is the best way and food to feed it?
I seem to have gotten it used to opening up to feed somewhere around 9-11 at night, but I'm still really struggling to feed it - if I put small pieces of shrimp on it, I usually find it lying on the sandbed the next morning.... If I squirt mysis at it, a few heads get hit directly and grab one, but I'm probably only get like 5-10 out of 50-75 heads fed....most of the mysis again either just falls between the heads or right to the ground...

Anyone with a sun coral of your own or previous experience that can help me out????

thanks
