Baron,
NM reef and I must be on the same wavelength or feeding schedule.
We seem to feed our brain corals about the same.
Thaw, add Zoe on occassion, mix with tankwater, and squirt the food on the coral with the circulation off. Sometimes I just take a half frozen chunck of food that the fish start to pick at - and just reach in and place it on the coral or anemone, for that personal hand fed effect LOL <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />
After the coral consumes the food, or at least gets it halfway down it's gullet - I turn the pumps back on.
Susiepan,
I had two almost identical red brain corals in my other tanks. One fell off the rockwork, got it's tissue torn, infection set in, and I had to remove it. Was sad - it was larger of the two.
This surviving one I've had for about 1-1/2 years I guess.
It has grown some - not quite as much as I would like - but I think my lighting is not quite up to par ( pun intended ).
Thanks for asking
This coral is very nice - I would like to get more of them someday. Some mornings it is so shrunk up you'd think it was dead. Most times it's blown up pretty good. Couple nights ago it was so inflated I just had to get a pic of it that way.
I love this hobby.
