Scolymia feeding methods

Evening all

I popped to my local Maidenhead aquatics to grab some discus food & ended up spotting a long term want of mine-a bleeding apple scoly.hes about 3.5 inches across & at £200 seemed well priced.
I've read they appreciate regular feeding & mixed up a little reef roids to a paste & fed with syringe.it seemed to open the central mouth & sucked it all in.now lights are off & of course the outer tentacles Are long & visible.question is should I feed the tentacles via broadcast/syringe or apply to central mouth?

Ideal food for meat corals such as scoly are chopped meats such as chopped krill, shrimp and mysis shrimp and even small plankton. Roids is not ideal and will elevate phosphate levels when used regularly
