I have a hammer and it will occasionally grab some small cyclopeeze or mysis, usually it dont bother tho9ugh. just eats up the light.

I spot feed my torch & frog about 2 to 3 times a week.

I do a mix of cyclopeez, Rods food, mysis. I mix it all together in a glass along with some tank water. Then I suck it up with a turkey baster & spot feed them. They all seem fine & doing well

ok thx
i have several corals, most doing fine
the ones i am worried about are the torch and the open brain
just got the torch
one polyp looks a little lame
the brain looks like it may be needing more food
looks a little gaunt, not receding
target fed phyto planton and brine shrimp and he hardly opened his mouth
i may have slacked off here
sorry if i got snotty

my hammer had a lame head when I got him as well. it took weeks to come around but looks great now. I wasn't feeding either

I feed my open brain and RBTA, shrimp shavings and cyclop-eezs. I seldom target feed my hammer or torch because after I turn the pumps back on, the cyclop-eezs goes all over the tank and feeds everything. The torch in this recent picture is 5 years old. This pic is taken after I sold 5 heads last month.

I have fed my torches larger pieces of food, chopped up shrimp. A little bit larger than anything in Rod's food but not by much.
