What do you use to spot feed corals?

[revhtree Verified Admin]

There are many aquarium and household items that we can use to spot feed corals. What have you used and what do you use?

I use a basting syringe from the grocery store, minus the metal needle.

i have used a turkey baster, a syringe, my hand a cup, anything that could get the job done in reality, but lately it has been a syringe for me, and also depends on what i am spot feeding

I use this syringe and i like it for feeding chalice and other LPS, otherwise i feed using a pipette and bulb i bought at the LFS:

I use (this is going to sound awful) 'Julian's thing' from Two Little Fishies. Works great!

I use a turkey baster, but I hate it. I'd really like something that I could spot feed my LPS with and not get my hands wet. Main reason I stopped spot feeding was for this reason. It became to much of a hassle, so I'm hoping to get some great ideas on this thread. Thanks for posting

I crush up Spectrum pellets and mix it with water, and spot feed using "Julian's Thing". It works fairly well, but if you dont crush them up enough, they will get stuck on the tip... lol.

"Julian's Thing"

The ad for that was so disturbing :shocked:

Mostly, I use a turkey baster or syringe. If I am spot feeding, I have a bottle with the bottom cut out or an old skimmer cup that I place over the corals. I found the bottle liked to float away while the skimmer cup stayed put.
