I just purchased a ricordia green polyp looks really great in my tank i found a baby medicine dropper and added a piece of air tubing on it for direct feeding. I also bought some oyster liquid food. how much should i be feeding it. And how often also when i do feed it my current usually takes the food away any suggestions.

I am not familiar with this oyster liquid food. But I have fed ricordia and they will take most meaty fish foods like mysis, krill, and brine shrimp. They will also eat dried marine mini pellets if you moisten it first. If the flow blows away the food before the Ric can grab it you may need to turn some of the power heads off while feeding.

Try it but I think the particle size is too small for Rics. The Ric will reach out and grab the bit of food and curl up as it pulls the food into its mouth.
