Bubble Coral + Leather Coral

[saltwaterdiver]

Greetings,
Yesterday I bought a small bubble coral and returned it home. The second day, it was fully opened (more than in the LFS). I asked the LFS manager what to feed the bubble and he said calcium. I was reading on SWF.com that an occasional silverside could be fed at night. I was wondering what other people do with their bubble coral. This has easily become my most favorite coral, I want to keep it alive.
Also, I have had a leather coral (I think a toadstool) for about 3 months now. It has been my challenge. Finally I put it right in the direction of my return line and at the top of my tank. As of today it is partially open. This is a huge accomplishement for me. Is there anything else I can do to make it open completel? Thanks in advance!!!

I only feed my bubble coral ocassionally, maybe once a month with an invert target food. Been in my tank for 10 months and growing. I believe it would grow faster if I fed it more often, but that is not necessary nor is it what happens in a real reef where food is scarce.

Our Bubble gets fed about twice per month probably more than he should, we feed him brine shrimp, and occasionally a silverback. He's huge, and he's now got a "new bubble" attached to his side. Must be doing something right, eh?

Yes, they can eadily become the largest coral in the tank. They encroach on other corals space. I love it though. I'm looking into a 90 gal just to give it more space. Among other things.
