| With that being said, live phytoplankton must be kept refrigerated and still only has a shelf life of about 2 months, so don't over stock. | |

I will occasionally feed my corals using a syringe (no needle, just a squeezy tube) directly to their mouths. It's been working great and nothing bad came from it, so I suppose it's fine =)
Brine shrimp most of the time.
I've got them in frozen cubes, but, I'll take a cup of water directly from my tank and dissolve them into it. Then take my syringe and suck em up. Then feed
I understand not everybody would choose this method. But it works great for me, and is very easy and convenient. | |
