feeding your brain

[str8clownr]

what do you guys use to feed your lobo brain?

i got a nice specimen about a week ago and for the past two-three days it hasnt looked as inflated as it was, all my other corals THRIVE

so what should i be feeding it? is cyclop-eeze any good?

please some tips guys

i usually feed a mix of cyclopeeze, mysis, and/or krill 2x a week. usually about 2 hours after the lights turns off.

so it needs meaty foods, cyclopeeze wont be enough on its own?, and it also must be after lights off?

They don't need to be fed after lights out, but sometimes this is easier. I find that fish, shrimp etc.. are less likely to steal it when the lights are out.

ok thank you, is meaty foods necessary or can i get by on cyclopeeze?

 

[m2434]

I've never tried cyclopeeze, just meaty foods, so I can't really say... I usually just place a small piece directly on the coral.

ok will try that tonight, its slightly difficult because the brain is on the sand bed, will update on how it goes, am i aiming for the mouth or just anywhere on the coral will do?..

are they sticky??? or will i have to hold it down until it starts to eat?


thanks

I usually put a small piece of silverside or krill on the mouth & its usually eaten within a minute. If you are having problems with the food flying off, turning off any powerheads usually helps
