Quick Question

[jpc763]

I have a couple of LPS in my tank and I have noticed a slight behavior change and want to know if it is normal...
First, I have a candycane, open brain, favia and hammer coral.
Recently I have begun to notice that when I feed the fish, the brain, candycane and favia put out feeder tentacles. They did not used to do this and would only put out feeders at night.
Is this normal? Are they not getting enough light?
Thanks, John

They all want to eat... all of what you listed will readily accept meaty foods depending on the coral size will determine the food size but typically cyclops, or mysis are acceptable. Light of course is the most important but they should be offered some type of meaty marine food.

OK, so I forgot a *key* piece of info. I feed them 1-2 times per week. I mix cyclopeeze with coral frenzy and feed it to the candycane, hammer, favia and brain. I also feed the brain chunks of raw scallop or shrimp.
So they do get fed and they are growing. I was just wondering if they are becoming like teenagers and I need to feed them more often and greater quantities!
