They don't eat Phyto, corals are carnivorous, not vegeterians. Cyclops eeze would be another great food as well as marine snow.

I am almost afraid to ask. How do you "squirt" mysis shrimp on it?

How do you liquify it to use a baster? Add water to it?

I use chopped meaty food to feed all my LPS. I change it up sp they have a variety. Squid, prawns, scallops, krill. I just take a small chunk with my hand and place it in their tentacles.
