feeding clowns

You can use garlic from the store. Get a food processor and stick the seafood in there with a clove or two and let it go to town. Or you can get some Kent's Garlic Extreme and soak the food in that.

What about live brine shrimp? I see it being offered at the store for not too much money. How does that work? You just dump a bunch into the tank and let the fish chase 'em? Will they get them all? And might the live food spoil them?

my feather duster never comes out. i bought a yellow one, kinda small looks really neat, but he never comes out. i dont know if he threw his crown for what... but my sally lightfoot leaves it alone except to pick the outside like mentioned above

Here is a picture of the stick I use. I started with the toothpick but the clowns and six line would eat all the shrimp and my poor goby would just stare at the bottom. So, I taped two wood skewers together and I can guide some shrimp down to him.
Lisa, the same girl who told me about the toothpick said that you could use regular garlic powder or better yet garlic salt from the kitchen. I haven't tried it but she says it works fine. Malounsbury had good suggestions too.
Dmitry-not sure about the live shrimp and if they all get eaten or not. I see them in the store but I don't have the heart to put live ones in there to be eaten.
I put my feather duster in and burried all but the head and it hasn't come out yet. Also, my xenia is not looking too good either but I'm hoping both are just adjusting. I'm really excited about them. The snails and hermits are going to town on the rock and glass. CLEAN YOU LITTLE CRITTERS!! CLEAN!! :hilarious
