Re: Feeding Ideas?

Ok I "modified" my bottle with large reliefs at teh base to allow the water to flow out there and incorporated a larger tube on my turkey baster to create a tight fit at the top of the bottle. This was to make SURE the water flowed out the bottom. But I still can NOT get the Mysis to sink. Apparently they are destined to float. I sat there the other night for 45 minutes try to "persuade" them to sink but they stayed at the TOP of the bottle against the tubing until I removed it. Then they simply floated out to the PLEASURE of My greedy cleaner and Nemo! I am sad to say that the majority of this coral is degrading. My wife got it at a GREAT price because the LFS had not be able to sell it and was doubtful it would make it long term but she was deteremined to get one for Me as a surprise. I have tried and tried. Last night I took individual Mysis and literally PLACED them on the open polyps and I think out of 12 only ONE was able to keep it attached. I don't know what else to do. I have seen that Cyclopeeze does stock to them but not to a great degree and I'm not sure if that's enough to sustain them long term.
