Turkey baster or tweezers, depending on what is being fed. Sometimes just fingers (with pellets).

Reef Bass what pellets do you feed and what corals do you feed them to. I have a ton of Acans, Favas and chalices and I feed them mysis. Maybe a change is in the wind here.

10 ml syringe, like the ones used in a hospital, or that come with "Joes Juice". Works really well for mysis or brine shrimp mixed in water. You can really get them into a small area.

I made a spot feeder with a 10 ml syringe, a 2" piece of 1/4" airline and 2 feet of 1/4" rigid airline.

I have tried to feed Ocean Nutrition formula one pellets to favias, acans, chalices, dendros, duncans and blastos. Some seems to accept them and others not (pellet gets dropped or expelled). I also try to vary what I feed. Other food items I have given my lps include krill, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp and blood worms.

One reason I don't think mysis are a complete and balanced food source is that many of the packaged mysis are freshwater, and probably lacking the "healthy fats" that marine organisms have.
