#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#What else do you have in the tank as far as fish (and other thieves for that matter). If you are feeding brineshrimp or something else that size and there are things in the tank tosteal from the polyps then you better continue using the feeding cap. My foxface will pull all the food off the polyps if given the chance so I started feeding the tubestrea a cyclopeeze mixture of which he has no interest in. (one of the very few things out there he has no interest in.... the boy will eat newpaper ... proven fact :-). But I do whip out the feeding cap on occasion and feed the polyps food with more substance (mysis, brineship). #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#When I'm preparing the food for the reef and the other tanks, the first thing I do is take the frozen brineshrimp juice in a baster and squirt it at the tubestreas (I have 4). Then as I continue to prepare the food and feed the other tanks while the tubestrea are sniffing at the juice and are coming out. By the time I hit the reef tank they are fully extended and waiting. Once they reconize the cue they will come out immediately. They will also come out more throughout the day when they are nice and happy.... I just peeked at the tank and 3 of the 4 are out and it's noon time.... no where near feeding time yet. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
