Thanks for the tip! I have small scallops in the freezer. About the size of a US nickel. Think it’ll eat a whole one?
Thanks! So far I’ve tried LRS and a couple other frozen foods. It’s mouth is really open but tentacles just don’t seem to latch on to the food. I dipped the coral and cleaned off so much detritus and algae. It was covered and obviously neglected.Looks like it should still be salvageable. First thing I'd do is blow all that detritus off it. Looks like it could use a good cleaning. Use a turkey baster, then get it into higher flow.
It should have no reaction at all to light. Given that it's been neglected long term I would start with smaller food. Yes a healthy one can take out a small or even medium sized fish, but you want to nurse this one back to health. Start with LRS or mysis or something similar. Even pellets is okay. I would recommend small feedings every other day. When you start to see improvement you can feed larger foods and eventually less frequently. They will deflate sometimes even when healthy but should be big and puffy most of the day.
Hi Scott, found your thread. Great information from everyone! I also have NPS sun corals and dendros that get feed mysis every other night. Both are doing great. I definitely see improvement in your Rhizo from the first picture. Good job!Non photosynthetic corals. They don’t contain zooxanthellae so they need to be fed meaty foods quite frequently. I have a few colonies of dendrophyllia which are also NPS so I feed a lot in my tank....
Thank you..this is definitely unknown waters with these corals...pun intended!
