This is one hobby that never stops amazing me. These pictures again demonstrate the inevitable difficulty in trying to maintain a closed-system, yet diverse, biotope. I had no idea that a wellsophyllia would attempt at eating a shrimp. I only wish I would have seen it happen from the beginning. Oh well, there goes $10 into the gut of my brain coral.
I thought this was particularly interesting because I didn't even realize I needed to feed this coral until about 4 months ago when I read one of the articles in Reefkeeping. Since then I feed it mysis shrimp about once every 2 weeks. It responds, but opens slowly. I guess there is the reason for my surprise, and I have yet to see any sweeper tentacles.
One other comment, for anyone that read my post last week on a question about Rainfordi Gobies, I mentioned that my newly bought fish disappeared within 10 seconds of being put in the tank. Well, 9 days later, there it is, alive and well. That dude was no where to be found. Now, it likely was out and about when I was at work, but it was no where to be found for the first two days, cause I looked hard all the time. So, I gave up on it. Just thought that would also be interesting to mention.
