Wellll...I stayed up till 12:30 last night...NO SWEEPERS YET...BUT I am being "PATIENT"

I fed my brain a piece of scallop this morning...I didn'e think it woould take it, but I placed it by its mouth..it stuck...and then it ate it
It was kinda neat cause I really didn't know you could feed them...
Anyone know how often I should (or could) do this...I do not want to overfeed it.

Just cut the silversides into small pieces about 1/4" long or so and feed one or two. Mine take them right away and the bubbles really extend the following day. You could also feed mysis shrimp, they also like those. As far as the brain i feed mine about once a week after lights out and the tenticles are open.

Well my brain got fed this morning...I was wondering what those little things were on it

Can you feed a bubble if the "bubbles" are out...not the tentacles?
I feed mysis to my tank, so hopefully it got some

Starting to look like it is supposed to now. Well done. Must like the spot you picked.
LOL...I had to move it the first night...Apparently my FISH didn't like where it was and threw it out
....So I moved it to a good spot where the rock it came on is lodged in a crevice...I fed it some scallops today..I was very surprised the way it ate it...I really had no clue they do that
...It was neat

I would move every other coral at least 8 inches in the direction of the flow of water. IMO a bubble coral, however so pretty is like a giant aptasia. Those neat little tentacles will sting everything it touches to death.
I am glad you now have a brain.
I wish I had one!
