trumpet feeding Q

[bkmorris]

hi everyone...
i just got a gorgeous trumpet coral with about 7 heads on it... and it's the first coral i've gotten that needs to be fed meaty foods... so i was wondering if i need to place food on each individual head...? i just fed about 3-4 of the heads successfully, the others just kept floating off. any help is appreciated

I just feed mine by putting their food in the water column...the little heads close up on it.

They evidently have tentacles that can come out after lights are out that you can feed directly also.

If I am wrong, I am sure someone else will chime in!

You can put cyclopeeze in the water column and they will catch it with their tentacles after the lights go off.

or with the lights on

I spot feed mine meaty foods once every two weeks or so.

I feed them a mix of frozen brine, mysis, and cyclopeeze. The cyclops is really too small of a prey for them, but I feed that mix to most of my LPS.
