Bubble Tip coral

[conk]

I have been feeding my Bubble Tip coral brine shrimp twice a week and I also put plankton in twice. Is there any other food I need to feed it? Or what do you suggest?
Thanks

That sounds great, if you are not already, spot feed it with a syringe, or turkey baster, so it gets a good portion of the food, and not the filter!

I believe its best to feed a bubble tip coral at night since they put out their tenacles which allows them to bring the food in. I've been feed mine brine shrimp with a turkey baster.
I have a sally lightfoot crab that's been chowing down on it though. It really saddens me since its such a pretty coral.
Hope this helps.

Sorry to hear that
Can you elevate it lightly on a pvc pipe perhaps to get it away from the crab?
just a thought..
They are really nice corals, I might consider removing the crab!
