If so, what do you spot feed them? The Yellow Polyps catch our mysis shrimp, but I don't know if they can even do anything with them. Would the like to be spot fed? With what? Thanks!
Do you spot feed Yellow Polyps? Xenias? Torch Coral?

Well, I'm taking the Torch Coral back to the LFS today. We've had it in the tank for 8 days now, & one of the five heads has died completely...two others are shriveling up & the mouths are wide open.
I told the LFS service guy who brought it out to put it in the tank (the LFS chose our first corals for us since we had no idea what we were doing) that I thought our lighting (VHO) wasn't sufficient for a Torch Coral. He said it would do "OK" but maybe not bloom all the way.
I say he's wrong...so I'm taking it back to get something easy, but still pretty

I don't know the wattage...we have a 100gal tank...I need to find out more specifics on what they put in for us when they built the tank. I know they're actinics, but beyond that, I don't know.

What do you have in your 45 FOWLR? I'm converting my 46 to a FOWLR tank. I also have a 120 reef.
