Maybe it's just me but I have been feeding my LPS corals pellets soaked in fish oil for years and they seem to thrive on it. I also feed other things but this is relatively easy and I like to get as much fish oil into them as I can.
Bubble corals, torch corals and candy canes I know will eat this.
You can see in this picture just above the reflected light the pellet going down it's mouth

Paul I def feed my LPS as well usually with a variety of foods throughout the week and see great growth rates. If it works why change it ;)
 
I also feed them clams but this is easy and I don't always have clams
 
Paul, why so many? Are you a collector? Were they on sale? Cheaper by the dozen? Baster fetish? He who dies with the most toys wins? Just encase you misplaced one? Your tanks got deeper with upgrades? You had a lot of spare time to make things? Each for a certain coral? each for a different food?

OK i'm done, pick one. I'm not the only one wanting to know. LOL
I also feed my LPS. Mainly brine and mysis shrimp. I use a syringe with a small tube attached. Do you think I should make up a few more? LOL
 
I just take the turkey baster and blast them in the face until a tentacle comes out to get food! LOL
 
Paul, why so many?

A couple of years ago I sold them for what they cost me. I had to buy the bulbs by the case. Thats why so many.
I only have three now, one real long one to feed. one short one to suck out baby brine out of my hatchery and a small capacity one to target feed polyps.
