stylaster Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I have two brain corals, one is a trachyphyllia the other is a wellsophyllia. They dont seem to be interested in eating mysis, so what would you recommend? I was thinking silversides, but that might be too large Thanks Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 My trachy would take smaller (Hikari sized, not the jumbo PE variety) mysis once in a while, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I feed my big lobo just about anything. He gets the little astrea starfish, chunks of clam, and he seems to really like this stuff too. So do all of my other corals and fish for that matter... I also use the marine one too. Between the two all of my corals grab it and eat it. From zoas to chalices, frogspawn to acros and montis...

stylaster Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 awesome thanks for the suggestions... I did find out tonight that my plate corals eat silversides ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If the brain is not interested in mysis, you might have to work up to them depending on there size. Before I target feed my LPS, I always turn off the return pump and add a bit of cyclopleeze and wait about 10-15 minutes for the feeders to extend all the way. If you feed often the corals will get better at accepting food. If you feed at a consistent time they will be ready for you as well. My brains will eat just about anything but usually the brains get target fed krill. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I feed my corals frozen rotifers and feed my fish ( corals get some of this to ) frozen brine with spironilla. Seems to be working great, My denero only had 2 heads on it for about 2 months and now I can see 4 new baby heads coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
