What Should I feed this coral?

[reefdude37]

I would like to know what I should feed to this coral, I'm not even sure what the name is. Thanks...

Looks like a hammer. I dont feed mine anything. It lives off of light and what floats around the tank. Mine has been getting larger and larger since I got it.

you dont have to feed it anything, but they grow faster if you sometimes squirt some frozen food at it

sounds right 2 me but its frogspawn

2nd^, its a frogspawn, not a hammer. But it has the same requirements.

How do you buy a coral without knowing the name of it?

 

[arsen_36]

yup deffinatly frogspawn. all it needs is light but give it some krill or some sort of protien and it'll grow pretty quick.

Is that aiptasia below the zoas? If it is (hard to tell by the pic.) it will sting the frogspawn.

It is aptisia. Get yourself some Joes juice.

thanks, I have a couple of aptisia, maybe thats why all corals wont open, I'm getting tired of this

I had one near my frogspawn and it would not come out till I got rid of it

 

[arsen_36]

you could just pluck it out with tweezers or something :notsure: thats what i do

In the second picture, with the "shadowing" it does ressemble a hammer but, if you look at the first picture.....difinitely a frogspawn.

Your zoos are retracted due to the aiptasia. And the coral in question is Euphyllia divisa, aka frogspawn. You'll want to at least keep it under power compact lighting, with the occasional spot feeding, if you want it to survive. What kind of lighting is over your tank at the moment?

 

[reefdude37]

20 inch 96 watt pc's, more than enough

 

[laddy]

Good lighting for frogspawn in that size tank. What about water flow? They require low to moderate flow.

try feeding cyclopeeze that works great for all my corals and you see a difference after approx 2 feedings. It comes in a freezer bar and most of the larger lfs sell it. :jumping:
