Hi!

What is the best to feed button polyps?
Sorry if this question was asked before - I did a search, but couldn't find any threads relating to feeding buttons :)

Thanks!!

:D

I asked this a few days ago, as I sometimes feed one of mine some mysis and brine shrimp and krill which they eat and do look much better for it, but i have a few other button that wont take it, but they will just take all they need from the lighting.

I use a big turkey baster to feed fish and corals, but I used to use a syringe. If you've never fed the zoos any mysis or brine before, only try a tiny bit in case they don't take it as not all do. If they close around the shrimp straight away then feed them all, but you can use what ever you want so long as the food fits in there.
