I would love to see pictures and hear suggestions for the best way to feed corals. Also, which coral foods work best for which corals.
 
A lot of people use a turkey baster and suck up whatever they are feeding there corals into it and then target feed them. It's pretty easy. I use reef Roids for all my coral. I have started feeding pellets to my mushrooms and trumpets lol.
 
I use a 10 mil syringe with about 4 inches of tube at the end. I feed my lobo, acan, and Sun coral a brand of food called "Coral Frenzy" they love it. I coax them out by releasing a small amount of PE Calanus.
 
I have Julian's thing. I tend to just broadcast feed now.
 
I have used many methods over the years. I have used turkey basters the most often. I have made covers for certain lps with pop bottles to keep food in and fish out. Now I have an automatic broadcast feeder system.

I feed such a variety, I cannot name them all, but oyster feast, roe, coral frenzy, reef roids, coral chili, other small foods.
 
I work at an animal clinic, so I just bring home syringes to use for feeding, and IV line for acclimation (it has a control for the drip rate)
 
I use a 10ml syringe with a bit of rigid airline tubing attached by a small piece of regular airline tubing.
