Plate Coral Feeding Frenzy 6-Pack!

[marvida]

OK, so it's a slow motion frenzy. I shot this six pack this AM when I fed my short tenticle plate.
Before breakfast:

All done! Less than thirty minutes start to finish.
I feed this coral once a week.

SWEET PICS!

Thanks!
Yeah it's just frozen, cubed brine shrimp. I rinse it & mix with tank water then feed it with a turkey baster. I don't turn off the powerheads but in the case of this type of food I don't think much gets wasted. Not much gets past the goby & peppermint shrimp.

Very nice set of pics...I've got a shorty plate that goes thru the same progression. Normally I have to shut down the majority of my circulation or it doesn't get to feed as well.
Great 6-pac...
