What I do is drop pellets in for the shrimp and hermits just to distract them then I direct feed my corals with no problems.

I feed the corals in the evening after the halides have gone off. I use mysis and cyclopeeze. I turn the main pump off in the sump and keep the power heads going. I let them feed for 45 min before turning back on the main pump.
I also feed the fish at the same time--plenty for all this way.
