Guess it depends what you want to feed with it 
I thaw it in a little tank water and draw it up a pipette to target feed, however, my Chevron Tang follows the end around and eats big gulps of it! LOL!
Then I just dump the rest into the tank.
Perhaps others do differently? _________  I Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thaw? See mine is like a powder with bigger clumps in it no need to thaw as it is not frozen but freeze dried
But I assume I would do the same with the powder just ?how much?
I will have to try some out a little and see does it make your skimmer go nuts and boil over?
Thanks again for the help I can't believe there are no feeding instructions at all on the product! | |

I use the same kind..( freeze dryed in a can)
I target feed with a baster. Little bit goes a long ways. alot seems to go to the top of the tank and just leach into the water. Use sparingly to avoid overfeeding. It does have great nutritional value for your corals and excellent for your fishes health.
