[Mr.First]

Not too bad ...

Looking good!!! Looks like it pretty new, the tentacles arent extending too far yet, but give it some food and some time and it should be amazing!!!

Nice color, do you have all your lights on or just actinics(sp)?

 

[Mr.First]

Those were under actintics and they were just put in the tank a few hours before. I dont want to feed by turkey baster and cyclopeeze, I think there is too much uneaten waste. Do you think I am better off feeding a few polyps Mysis. Are they at all connected ?

Mr Frist,
Each polyp needs to eat. Mysis is great for them, but fish will have way too easy of a time picking it away from them. Cyclopeeze is a good choice and they still get a little bit after fish pick. Rather than a turkey baster, which is very messy, use a syringe like you get in a test kit to target feed each polyp. Some say they are good being fed weekly, but IME, they do best and actually grow when fed every 2 days. Try to feed it sometimes during the day, they can become accustomed to the lights and open more often during the day. They look like yellows to me. Very nice piece. They are a lot of work though.

get a two or three liter soda bottle, cut it and cover the coral as much as possible and squirt food through there.

The color looks sick under just actinics.

nice coral. I feed mine just about everyday I feed them (black and orange) mysis, squid and brine shrimp. I shut my filters off and they open like crazy...but yes they are a lot of work.....but worth it.
