Hello,

I would like to see some pics and care level of this coral- Medium flow, sand bed placement and broadcast feeding?

Thanks!
 
I put both mine on the rocks,low lights
I haven’t feed them for almost a years due to heavy feeding to the fishes,but it will take food and been feed them in the pass(nicer colors when the lights On)

Tried to spot fed with PE mysis shrimp but it seems mouth did not open- no appetite.

A good way to spot feed corals like these is to broadcast some reef roids or similar to get them open to feed. Another option is to wait until lights out when they usually open on their own to feed.
 
They're a sand dwelling coral like acanthophyllia or Indophyllia. Mine has big fat bubbles that don't like any strong current. I feed fauna marin lps medium pellets an hour after sun down, big fat tentacles come out and gobble up those pellets. Almost as reliable eater as my scoly. You can see a different between good extension and minimal extension in these two pics.
