Am i feeding the right way???

[tangy84]

Ok, This is my first time writing in this forum. A lot of great info and good deals :wink1:. I have a Question. Yesterday I tried something new, I connected an airline tube to a syringe and I pulled out some marine snow with it. So I shut off my powerhead and i went over some of the corals, like my Hammer, Goniopora, Zoas and squirted a little over each one. After a few seconds the Hammer's mouth was fully open, I guess it wanted more :eat:. Is this a good way to feed them?? or how else should i feed? Thanx for all the input.

Yup that's the way...I use a turkey blaster same concept though

What your doing is fine. I just use the sea squirt feeding prong. You can pick them up at pretty much any LFS.

Is your tank new? How has your success been with the goniopora?

The tank has been up for over a year. It has been great but 2 days ago, it didn't open fully, and yesterday it looked like it's trying to open but it's barely open. It's time for a water change anyways. So I will see if that does the trick.

oh i've had it for about 3 months.

And Thanx for all the replies.

Goniopora opened up again, looking beautiful. I think it was closed because one of the percula clowns were trying to use it as a host, he still goes in it and it retracts a little but it opens right back up.
