i have him under VHO's and feed him krill once a week. He's about 2 years old and has grown very fast. Started around 5" in diam and when fully extended after feeding he's grown up to 12" in diam

very nice, I knew i couldn't be the only one :cheer:

 

[paulcoates]

mine is only a few weeks old. He is sitting at the bottom of my 55 reef with 260W PC. He is eating well though. I have him several pieces of mysis today and his lips puckered right up.
My LFS has a red one, but it is $169. A little too rich for my blood

[triga22]

Pretty cool.. Never knew what they were till now lol

I dont have a meat coral.... but I do have a very close cousin the Cynarina lacrymalis or button coral. It freakin huge. I bought it about 3 months ago. When fully opened it was about 3 inches across. Today, its at least the 8 to 10 inches in diameter.

Wow, very cool, might have my lfs order one for me when summer arrives.

the cbs steals the krill out of the corals mouth sometimes during feeding. Thats the only problem
