Is this a Brain?

[chrisyew]

Just bought this and not too sure if this is called a Brain and it's Neon Green in color;

Today I'm seeing small little 'bubble liked' growing round the inner rim (which is about 3 days later after I bought it). What are these little things growing in it and is it doing ok or something wrong with it? See below;

Yes this is called Open Brain indeed (I don't know the scientific name of it) The small little thing growing around its inner rim are actually its feeding tantacles.. completely normal. When there's food available (or after feeding it) these tantacles will come out

Ur brain is s little bleach.. try to target feed it with meaty food, i.e mysis or market prawn regularly (once a day or once very other day), to help its growth..

Since u are having Cauliflower in ur tank I believe u might not have read much about the proper environment needed to sustain an open brain in ur tank. Do some search in SRC and read more about it... pay more attention to ur lights, calcium level, and KH.

Happy reefing

Thanks for the info and reply.

Can the feeding of brain make do with live bbs and cyclopzee too?

I've placed the cauliflower in the lesser light position and a better current place. Read here that it's rather difficult coral to handle and needs feeding as well.

Will bear that in mind. Thank you.
