I sent him pics of the BT influence with flash light only, decided to try with it deflated.

This is under a flashlight. These are very very difficult to take with no free hands.
Blame @Eagle_Steve

tag me to your nem thread ,i seen it ,missed it...

That actually showcases the orange fading into green very well.

I don't know where this bta will stop. Eagle steve said takes them a year to stablise color.

I'm amazed at how much it gloes under just a flash light.

I got some yellow showing, even if the lights are probably lying to me. If those green tips turn yellow... The color I would get to see.
I give up. It's still pretty!

What are your guys opinions on feeding coral? As in, how often should I feed?

Up until now, I’ve only been feeding once a week. However, after seeing how all my coral reacted after feeding them, I’m starting to think maybe I should be feeding more often?

Some of the baby Duncan heads literally doubled in size overnight, because I spot fed the 3 big heads whole mysis. ;Bookworm;Nailbiting;Wacky

(WOW, I didn’t even realize how much those heads in the back have GROWN. This is crazy!)

Little photbombers as usual

LPS fed every other day. Nearly 3 times per week.
s
SPS i leave alone. BTA gets food out of the water column and reef roids every Thursday.

I will start feeding the LPS every other day, does that include the torch?

So nem once a week and none for the SPS? Should I not at least spot feed the SPS with the Reef Candy once a week?

YOU need to keep doing what you are doing. What I do applies to my tank and their needs. You're doing good! keep it up.

Also, for sps. They can be stressed when directly fed and they spend a lot of energy trying to digest food. Let them catch what they want. I never ever target fed my digitata and monti cap. They grew like weeds. My slimer is probably do different from them. I am still waiting for it to settle in.

Will do!

I’m going to start feeding the Duncan only every other day, and then then nem once a week. I’ll leave everything else the way I have been doing it.

BTA & golden goose. I need to put the golden gooses on a rock or something, because they are actually starting to spread.

Also, what are some signs of a torch splitting?

I can get away with over feeding my system because I cultivate macro algae to trade to my lfs. Or sell if anyone wants any. So the extra nutrients get put to use.

I feed all my corals once or twice a week, I generally just feed the LPS and anemones. I feed them the larger mysis sized plankton, usually one little ‘shrimp’ per head, and then 3-5 for the BTA, maxi mini, lobophyllia, bubble coral, and trachyphyllia. I could definitely feed more often, but I balance feeding with keeping nutrient levels in check.

I feed my coral every 2 days and fish everyday ! They seem to love it and my nutrients are stable for the mean time I just gotta keep up with my 10% water changes

@elorablue, I’m seeing a little bit of polyp extension, but not much:

I swear these clowns will be the death of me ;Facepalm

 

[elorablue]

Has it been a week already?! Man time flies eh! Lol
It does look slightly better but still wait a few more days. My guess is that it will appreciate some more light and flow. I don’t know what your parameters are but anything under 25 nitrate and 0.2 phosphate (those are the upper limit for sure) with a stable Alk and it’ll be happy.
As I’ve found out, once you get into sps it’s best to set your tank for them and everything else just has to deal lol
Make a note to mount it up on the rocks next WEDNESDAY.
