LOL.. true..

oh, feeding in a bowl w/ tubastrea...

you basically put the bowl in the tank, putt he tubastrea in the bowl, and then take the bowl out.

usually, the tubastrea will retract anyhow (at least for me) I just put a little bit of food in the bowl to get the scent in there, then i go off and do something for 15 - 20 minutes, and when i com back, all the hungry little buggers are out. feed & put the buggers back in the same way you took them out.
