    Thanks, all!
    Divott, $55 for the piece.
    Will, I'm feeding mysis cube mixed with a bit of tank water to thaw and a bit of frozen Cycl-o-peze, I have a medicine syringe dispenser but I think a dropper type feeder would be easier. My turkey baster loses the mix before I can release it where I want it. For right now I put my mesh breeder cage over the coral to keep the pesky shrimp from taking the food, but I'll use the small fruit basket when I get one.

    i have heard some people actually remove them from the tank and place into a a bowl with tank water to feed . . . I cut a 2 liter soda bottle top off, but it dosen't fit over my cluster where I have them in the rock work. my turkey baster seems to work fine as long as i keep the tip above the ball untill i'm ready to feed (giggity).

    I think I'm going to use my mesh breeder cage to put the piece in and feed, it hangs on the tank and is conveniently removable when I'm finished. Then I won't need the fruit basket.

    I got one with 50 heads for $60. I thought that was a better deal than normal around here. Usually 20-30 heads for that price.
