It is a pump with a long plastic tube that has bent tip. It resembles a turkey baster. Here is a link to get one on ebay. It is the only place I can find it. I also have a turkey baster, but I prefer the starfish feeder. since starfish and anemone's are sometimes hard to get to. Thanks for all the advice. I will feed it twice a week. I suppose I aught to invest in a Clarkii clown too... Awww, rats :wink:
