Help on brain coral

[veliferium]

while viewing my newly bought brain,i notice that i can still see some parts of the skeleton.wat will this lead to. is it light deficiency.

A picture will help, but brains are pretty hardy. Give it some tender care, feed it and in the proper conditions it will heal. Shouldn't be too big of a problem.

Yeah, jus bring it near the mouth and place it into the mouth gently when u feed it. It will gobble it up.. also make sure your current isn't too strong.

mine, i find that the mouth very small. jus a slit at the centre.BTW, jus bought it yesterday,maybe adjusting to environment.

I really hoped u have upgrade your lights from FL to AT LEAST a PL... no way the brain going to do well in FL

[veliferium]

yes, bro ekia jus bought a dymax t5 supplemented with a blue FL

just a word of caution.. dymax t5 are not HO.. not really enough for LPS... try to put yr brain higher up...

the brain will take some time to get used to the water... try feeding it with market prawn will help...

U can get a good T5 retrofit from Dr. Evil.

i tried feeding with inverterbrate formula( those that are designed for filter feeders).can't really feed market prawn as the opening of mouth is too small, but will try to.

Bro, Cut the prawn to small pieces and feed. Try feeding only when the mouth is open.

Feed your brain with mysis prawn as the size is just right. Take a look at this thread to see how big its mouth can be when feeding.
