how do I target feed?

[jjlove]

okay, ive got some palys that will need target feeding eventually. I picked up some zooplankton, but dont know how you go about "target feeding" thanks

It's easy.

Get a clean eyedropper, or something larger if wish, suck up the food you wish to target feed to your corals, get close enough to your corals and squirt.

Start with just a teeny tiny bit at first so they clue in that they are being fed.

Yep... I like the syringes from my old test kits, and if you don't want to get wet... hook the end of the syringe into some rigid tubing.

Turkey basters are good too.

I have had one for only one week, but i made somethng easy to concentrate thefood over them with only a little effort.
Take a piece of tubing from your return line or water change line and attach it to a funel, Place the whole thing in your tank with the funel over the coral and use a turkey baster to suck up the food and place it in the tub and squirt. it also works great for any other coral you truly want to spot feed.

Some people attach a cut plastic water bottle to the end of the turkey baster to create a little feeding dome, that way the food stays over the targeted corals longer
