Spot feeding Fox and frogspawn

[Anonymous]

Does anyone spot feed fox coral or frogspawn?
I understant that they are closely related to bubble coral, and many reefers will give them small pieces of shrimp.

I cyclopease and DT regulary.

Ok, so nobody bit on this thread.


The reason I as is because the fox was a nice white/light green when I bought it, and even though fully expanded, has taken on a dirty pink hue in some areas. It is under the same lighting conditions as the LFS.
Is this a sign of too much light?
Am I being over concerned?

I feed all my corals, especially my LPS corals. Not sure what's going on with your fox coral, I've never had one. What kind of light do you have, plus how long did the store have the coral before you bought it?

I have VHO lighting, 330 watts over 90 gallons (i know it is kind of low, but most everone is happy).
The LFS had if for a couple weeks.

What, how and how often do you feed your LPS?

 

[[)R@G()N]

At least 3 times a week, sometimes more. I use some blender mush I made. I use a turkey baster and squirt a little on each coral.

Thanks [)R@G()N
I'm on a feeding schedule now!

Anybody with any info on the color change? I'll try to post pictures soon.

I feed my frogspawn 2-3 times per week; Either mysis shrimp or live bloodworms when I am feeding my FW tank.

I just got a 1/2" piece of rigid tubing; cram some food in there and use a turkey baster to 'baste' water into the tube; the water pushes the food down and down and into the waiting tentacles of the frogspawn.

My problem is my bubble usually doesn't eat nearly as much as the frogspawn does...

Color change over three weeks.

Pehaps I worry too much? Is it protecting itself from the light?
