Hi everyone, bought a Open Brain Coral (pardon me if i wrong) from GO 2 days ago. I notice dat the brain 'Skin' (i not sure wat u call dat part), looks flabby. I sure dat it was not in dat state 2 days ago. Is this normal? part of the photo process?

Also is the hammer coral doing okay?? I just wana to be sure...hehe THanks in advance. :thanx:

At nite ah? haha...later when my lights go off...i spend some time and see...hehe...by the way...i running on T5, 2 x day and 2 x artinic but only for 6 hrs as recently overwhelming jelly algae sticking on the LR, but not cynobacteria. And the blue Led moonlight i leave it on overnight. i guess is okay.

Alot of troubleshooting and endless effort/time in this marine hobby. But very interesting in our quest to build our own 'ocean' in our apartment. :rolleyes:

yup... after time you can train them to accept food readily... my brains will go to feeding mood the moment a pellet or brine shrimp or particals from henry's mix falls on them... =]

Hi guys, what do you feed your hammers and frogspawns? I tried small pieces of market prawn and Cyclo-peeze but they are not being eaten. for the prawn, it sticks to the tentacles for a short while and then floats off, even with circulation off. For Cyclo, the coral forms a slime coat to carry the cyclo away, like it was irritated by it or something.

So have your corals been feeding? if yes, what? If no, how long have they survived without direct feed?

i see my coral produce alot of shit on regular basis. so i guess they must be feeding. i feed sometime oyster egg, marine snow....and henry food. i guess they do eat some bah. im not sure...i dun see them eat. sometimes they catch mysis. but i never see them put in mouth. always halfway putting inside mouth, float away or fish steal.
