Trumpet coral feeding

[John08007]

I have a 4 head trumpet coral frag that I am trying to nurse back to good shape. I blast it with some reef roids and aminos when I feed my other corals but with it not having any type of response I don't know if its doing anything. When I feed most of my other corals I see some sorta movement while feeding.

If you see his little tentacles, and feed him, then know he is eating regardless, mine does all the time. You can tell they do because they color up after a couple hours and get bigger.

I don't see any tentacles on it. Seems like some flesh with a mouth in the center.

Target feed each head a nice thick glob of reef roids. Turn your flow down or off for a few minutes. You don’t have to see tentacles every time for it to feed if you feed them this way. Or you can try feeding them after the lights go out.

here are night shots of mine.

Everytime I attempt to feed my tank, my trumpets go crazzy and open massively bad puff up to catch as much food as possible. I don’t give them to much but enough to were they can thrive. I’ll catch a picture later tonight if my guys

In your rockwork, keep them standing upwards, so nothing can crawl on them

Those look half dead, but they will bounce back. Keep your Po4 up... they do ok at zero or undetectable but I’ve had mine for about 4 years and they are doing better with NeoPhos dosing then they ever were...

I drop a few drops of reef roids in the tank to get the feeding response going, and then once the tentacles come out it’s dinner time. Also if yours aren’t doing that great,feed them at night when they’re full open.

Sad trumpets

happy trumpets (2 months of NeoPhos dosing)
