what's the best way to feed a fish mysis shrimp when 2 cleaner shrimp want to hog it all for themselves?

also, what do you all use to get the mysis into the tank? a turkey baster or something?

thanks!

I feed them first. I drop pellet food in a particular spot. They load up and will usually leave the corals alone for awhile.

Take a piece of silverside and give each shrimp a piece and it will keep them busy for a while. If it's mysis that comes frozen in a sheet thaw them with tank water and pour out the water and strain with a net then shoot them to the fish with a turkey baster
