What is everyone using toolwise to feed LPS? I would love to find something 12" or so long and rust resistant.......had some footlong stainless steel tweezers but they got rusted out pretty quickly. Anyone find any long plastic tweezers or something similiar?
 
I spot feed with a turkey baster. Just suck it up and then let the food just fall out on the LPS feeder tenticles.
 
i use a 1/2" diameter plastic tube. i put my faunamarin lps food in the top and put the other end right in the mouth of my lps.
 
for the acans and less finicky chalices (and a few Zoas) I use a long plastic tube, maybe 1/2" diamater that I glued a funnel to the end of, and drop spectrum mini-pellets in it. For the pickier guys, I use a mini-baster type thingy and do as poster above said-suck up the food and let it gradually fall down. Both methods pretty much only work with a sinking food though so no good for mysis and prawn eggs (IME).
 
I used to use the tweezers, but takes too long, so I just cut up mysis or whatever and into the turkey baster.
