Coral Steroids!
Coral Steroids!
I fed this Rhizo about two hours ago the new LPS food from Fauna Marin and when I came back home the coral was expanded HUGE! Now this a a large Rhizo to start out with but it was extend over 8 inches across. All my Rhizos were extended greater than they normally are too. With just one feeding I am impressed so far and very optimistic. I honestly dont know what Claude did with this mix of food but if this continues, he might have one of the hottest foods to come out for our non-photosynthetic LPS corals.

How long will the bottle last? Even with supplemental feeding 2-3x a week I might be able to pull a month to a month and a half out of a 100ml bottle.
The pellets are very small. In order to target feed the corals I wanted to; I took a glass of aquarium water, put in a 1/8 a spoon of LPS food, and fed a few corals with a turkey baster. I did this about 5 times to feed all my corals.
I am interested in grinding it up an see what effects it has on target feeding other corals.

It should last longer in your tank, also depends on what other corals can be fed with the food. The larger polyps were able to capture the food. It was a little tricky feeding my colony even with the pumps turned off (due to my colony's shape).
On a different note, one of my crinoids did have interest in the food. I am going to try to grind up some pellets with my ususal food mix I direct feed my crinoids with and see what happens.

It is a Menella sp. gorgonian. It will actually have greater polyp entension in time with continuous feeding. This particular gorgonian I was searching for since I saw in on a UK forum a few years back. I believe there are 2 other members in this forum that also have this type of gorgonian.
Menella sp. are one of the more easy to keep non-photosynthetic gorgonians. The larger polyp non-photosynthetic species seem to be much easier to sustain in a closed system.

AH , It was hard to tell with all those polyps in the way .LOL
Looks like it would be a good candidate for the ......"stocking a NPS tank" thread if you have time.
