feeding corals

[-JB]

How do you guys feed your corals? I've got cleaner shrimp in my tank and everytime I try to spot feed my corals, a shrimp runs all over the corals polyps and tries to steal the food.

It's not like they don't get any food when I feed the fish. It's starting to make it difficult to feed the corals. I notice the larger cleaner shrimp seem to do this, maybe I should swap them out with my LFS for smaller ones?

I have a blood cleaner shrimp and he does the same thing. Try to feed it with a good chunk of fish, shrimp etc and it will leave your corals alone. HTH

I use to have a cleaner shrimp that would pull food out of my anemone's gut. It did that everytime till my anemone ate it.
