Food for maze brain?

I have now the damaged maze brain for recovery: not so bad, really - after removing the necrotic tissue and basting out debris, it was ready to eat. The problem is that the mouthes are very small, what type of food is appropriate, and how to give it without polluting tank too much.
On the photos are: the whole coral, and close-ups - eating the dried cyclop-eeze (red dots, pardon the quality), and trying to eat mysis.

The cyclops-eeze is rarely caught by tentacles - mostly is floating in the water column. The mysis is caught, but is too big.
New to this. Advice?
 
take the top half of a 2 liter soda bottle and cut it off. Drill a hole through the cap and insert a 1/4" piece of hard clear tube (can be found at petco) and glue it into place. Take a turkey marinaid injector and remove the need and slide the tubbing onto the syrenge (may need to use a small piece of flexible clear 1/4 acrylic tube as a connector between the hard clear tube and the syrenge). Take cyclopeeze mixed w/saltwater and pull it into the syrenge, attact it to the hard clear tube and spot feed the coral. Turning off the pumps will help as well. Doing it this way will ensure it is diectly getting fed the cyclopeeze. You can try to puree the mysis if you want in a blender. That maze brain is not in good shape at all. I persoanly would cut off the bad but that is just me. Perfect water conditions and regualr feeding will help with it's re-growth.
 
Thanks, will try. I know, it's not in a good shape, but not in so bad - not to react on the food. This gives a hope.

What can be used to cut away the dead skeleton without affecting the live tissue? Could tissue regrow and cover the dead potions of skeleton, as blastomussa merletti does?
