    I know the tentacles come out at night but how do i feed them mysis and such if they do not come alive until after the lights are out?

    wait alittle after lights out, then dimply light up the tank maybe with your house light, then directly feed it, either with a baster or tongs, or if your tank has pods, then its definately eating. at nights when all the pods come out and are more active

    I am a huge advocate of feeding corals in my tanks. I target feed my LPS corals thawed and rinsed frozen mysis in the evenings a couple times per week. I feed the rest of my tank 2-3 times per week alternating with mysis, frozen cyclops, Tropic Marin Reef Snow, Pro-Coral Phyton and TM Pro-Coral Zooton.
