caulestrea (spelling?!)

[timrandlerv10]

hey!

i just got some today, and they look like they have acclimated well--they went from looking like dead skeletons to puffy balls with lots of small sweeper tentacles. they reinflated faster than any anemone i've ever seen!


i have them in a moderate flow, moderate light area (similar to the tank from which they came).

i also have a lot of rotifers and nanno growing in my garage...can i target feed these either of these two foods?


thanks,

tim

Both of those foods are too small to be of much use for a caulastrea. You can try the rotifers, but mine gladly accept cyclopeeze/arctipods, brine, and mysis.

thanks. at least they're 'no harm' if they dont get eaten...


what does eat rots besides baby clowns?

Rotifers are great for some stony corals and gorgonians (think smaller polyped things- Acropora, Stylophora, Seriatopora, Cyphastrea, some Tubastrea). I dont know for sure if theyre an appropriate size for something like a Tridacna gigas or not- I use it for them at any rate. I cant think of many fish that it would be useful for off the top of my head- theyre so small, everything I can think of would be a juvie (clowns, watchman gobies, etc).
