Mushroom container advice

[John3]

I wanted to see if anyone has any advice or tips on setting up a small container to keeps some Shrooms in. The main reason I want to keep some in a container is to keep some of my cuc from stealing food when I feed them. For example the Florida rics have no chance to close up on food before a crab is there at gun point.

Have you tried target feeding with a turkey baster?

That’s what I use now. I like to feed small pieces of chopped up raw shrimp. Any coral that pulls the food in fast is fine but anything slow like mushrooms get robbed by hermits, emerald crabs, and nassirus snails. My lobo gets robbed a lot too.

I've been wanting to get one of these. They sale them with or without magnets.

I've seen some people use the top of a water bottle. cut it in half and place the top over the corals. You can even feed through the lid opening if a small baster is used.

That basket is pretty sweet. I’m gonna try the soda bottle idea for feeding the lobo.

I have seen a few pictures were people have a small container with rocks or even a bunch of plugs where they are keeping shrooms. I thought that seems like a good way to segregate them a little and to keep them from going wild on the rock work.
