What Is the best wat to target feed a coral in a reef tank? Is somthing sold that makes it easyer... I dont mind doing it, what I was doing is putting the sun coral in fish holder letting it sit in there to it has eatten than putting it back just thought there my be a easyer way I like keeping in one place without removeing it??

Cibo, the way I feed the guys in the pic is that I make a mixture of frozen cyclopeeze & mysis shrimps(sometimes Rod's Food), and with a the feeder that PaulB made for me(which is like a turkey baster) I spray the food under-over-behind, and directly at them. Works great for me. I do pay attention that all the heads do eat. You may not like my method as it takes quite a bit of food to ensure that the fish,shrimps,star fish,snails,&crabs don't steal it all away!
But I prefer this method to the removing the coral to feed it. Especially since the time I forgot to put the coral back in the tank, and woke the following morning to find all but two heads dead.

I use a turkey baster works great for me.

Turkey baster. Might want to turn off your pumps while doing this as it is easier to control the food that way..just remember to turn them back on!

Thye got the high tech baster at Dr Foster and Smith if you want to go that way.It pretty long!

Yes, Cibo. I have the one from Drs.Fosters & Smith, and can tell you that it is not worth it. I don't even remember what I did with it. Very flimsy.
