I am bad with names. Yes, it's Scolymia or Button Coral (looks like a shirt button really). Wow, your icon is a Scolymia Maniac too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37Alpha Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I tried to feed my open brain with prawn meat. But no success. Hopefully it is eating the liquid food that I m dosing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spgohjc Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just to share... Took some photos with iPhone of Button coral having a meal of a piece of MP. Pardon me for my lousy photography. First shot - Coral with it's tentacles extended. Second shot - MP dropped onto tentacles, looks like it is swallowing it. Third & Fourth shots - MP already eaten. You can see a little hump over the surface where the MP was dropped. When you actually touch the green portion it is actually quite soft.

spgohjc Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Just to share... My Open Brain Coral (Lobo) finishing up a MP. It sure took a long long time to eat.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spgohjc Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Just to share another update... My 6 cm Lobo ate a 3.5cm ocellaris clownfish last night! Didn't know I have monster corals in the tank. Here's a shot of the swollen coral (can see some orange colour, not able to show up in the phone camera) after the meal.
