WooHoo My First Corals

[tangsrule27]

Hi guys~ I JUST GOT MY VERY FIRST TWO CORALS TODAY!!! I am very excited. Ok they are a bubble coral and an elegance coral. I placed both of them high on the rock structure in a moderate water current area. The bubble is all open and nice and the elegance is starting to open slowly. I hope its ok becaues its a beautiful piece. I am prolly just being paranoid because i only added it about half an hour ago and it is still getting used to his surroundings. One quick question: can i direct feed these shrimp pieces or do they only rely on my lighting and trace elements? Also any tips or pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thx. ~RYAN~

How old is your tank? you can feed the bubble shrimp, squid, krill, brine, and about anything else. i dont know about the elagance though. i never feed mine.

Thank you very much Mr. Bubble i appreciate your quick response and I for one do not think u should be banned. I don't even know why people are blowing up about ur posts. That is the ridiculous part even if you don't have a giant sponge. Well anyways i moved the bubble down a little bit because he was getting blasted by a powerhead but now he is gigantic!!!! And the elegance is opening more and more. They are really beautiful creatures. ~RYAN~

you can feed them both. samll pieces should be taken. do you have any hermits or orher crabs in the tank. if so watch them after you feed the corals, they will take the food from the corals before it eats it. my try when i feed my open brain coral

YES! Make sure the shrimp, crabs, hermet, do not get the food. you might want to chase them off when they get interested in it. before you get another coral, make sure these corals dont die! What are you thinking of getting next?

Sound good! But i think you should get some leathers. Those are very hardy and butiful! thats just my thought
