Question about spot feeding corals

Can anyone tell me what the name of the device is that you use to draw up the phytoplankton to spot feed corals with. I am wanting to purchase one and can't think of the name of the device. Thanks.

Go to your local crafts store and in the painting section ask for a bulb syringe, thats what I call it anyways. It should be a one piece deal with a bulb at the end and you just trim the opening to whatever size you need it.
