It looks really nice so far, its green...on the sandbed up against some rocks, its under MH's so It should be fine, it will probably eat the flakes I feed my fish in the morning :O

I spot feed mine mysis twice a week. Might be a little overkill, but I heard they were hard to keep so I thought I would do my best to keep it alive.
Here's a pic of mine:

When I feed my fish every week I put flakes in the morning, so I'm hoping he can catch some. I think I will still feed him a small piece of Krill every week. Thats what he was fed at the LFS.

i vote spot feed with fresh meaty foods.
What counts as "fresh meaty foods"? Like silversides or something?

Mine looks really good right now, it's tentacles are so long in the MH. What are theese rumors? I've heard it CAN eat small fish, but it doesn't touch my clowns and my yellow-watchman never goes near it lol, do I just put the food right up near its mouth? like put my hand in the tentacles basically?

i use a mixture of fresh seafood from the supermarket(this time i bought shrimp, scallops a couple clams, and whatever white meat fish they had available) to feed my lps and fish, but you can use a piece of shrimp, some misis shrimp, silverside...anything really.

that's what i do...just take a piece of fish or whatever and gently put it in the corals tentacles. leave all flow off for about 20-25 minutes so they can pull it in, and watch that shrimp and those thieving nassarius snails don't steal it.
for the corals with smaller mouths, i use a giant syringe and fill it with some of this meaty stuff and perhaps some cyclo-peeze and misis, and squirt a bit over the whole coral.
