Description

Mantis Coral Feeding Pipette Set (2pcs) – Ms-014 — Two-pipette set for targeted coral and invertebrate feeding

Broadcast feeding a reef tank means half the food drifts past the coral it was meant for, and getting a food directly onto a polyp or into a crevice needs something more precise than a turkey baster. Mantis Coral Feeding Pipette Set (2pcs) – Ms-014 (SKU: MA069802) is a set of two pipettes, one longer and one shorter, for targeted feeding of corals and other aquatic animals. The longer pipette reaches a frag or colony sitting deep in the rockwork or at the back of a tall tank, while the shorter one suits close-up, precise work on a coral near the front glass or in a frag tank. Both are simple squeeze-bulb pipettes: draw up a small amount of liquid or finely dissolved food, position the tip near the target, and release it in a controlled dose rather than scattering it across the water column.

The set is built for feeding corals directly, delivering a dose of phytoplankton, zooplankton or a dissolved coral food within reach of the polyps’ tentacles so it is taken up before it disperses, but the same two pipettes work equally well for spot-feeding other small aquatic animals such as anemones, feather dusters, shrimp or fry that benefit from a precisely placed meal. Having two lengths in the set covers most tank depths and layouts without needing a separate tool for shallow and deep placements, and the pipette draws up liquid food straight from a mixing cup rather than needing the food premixed into the whole tank’s water column.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Target-feeding corals: Delivering phytoplankton or dissolved food directly to a polyp or colony.
• Deep or awkward placements: Using the longer pipette to reach a frag tucked into the rockwork.
• Close-up frag tank work: Using the shorter pipette for precise feeding near the front glass.
• Other small tank animals: Spot-feeding anemones, feather dusters, shrimp or fry.

How to Use

• Prepare the food: Mix the food in a small cup of tank water rather than loading it dry.
• Draw up a dose: Squeeze the bulb, dip the tip into the mixed food and release the bulb to fill the pipette.
• Position close to the target: Bring the tip near the polyp or animal before dispensing.
• Release gradually: Squeeze gently so the dose settles on the target rather than scattering with the current.
