help with micromussa

[ibew]

I have checked all of my parimeters my Fl ricordea are doing great and and my frogspawn is also doing awsome but for some reason some of my acan and some of my micromussa is residing. I will move it to a different spot it will start to regrow tissue than after awile it will reside again. Do they have to be spot feed to live I thought they can live just from light im getting really confusd this has just started recently.

It is not necessary to feed Micromussa but seeing as it is so expensive it may not be a bad idea to feed it so that it grows faster. Meaty foods such as Mysis and Cyclops are good food for Micromussa.
Micromussa spp. are fast growers. Feeding them meaty foods to supplement their diet is a good way to get them to grow faster. Once the Micromussa is large enough to frag it would be smart to use a Dremel with a diamond bit blade.

I didn't think it was necessary to feed them. Is there any type of copepod or species that might eat this type of coral. For one reason is they will almost completly die overnight meaning loose all there flesh down to the skeleton stucture.
