Well here they are. They have been in my tank for 4 days now. I will see if feeding the tank 8 times a day my food mixture and three times a day feeding the fish will keep these guys alive. Two different types of Scleronephthya. Wish me luck.

On this note, I have noticed that they seem to swell up when the feeder goes off or whenever they feel like it and then shrink down after awhile. My Chilli coral swells up at night and stays up for two days then shrinks back down for one. Anyone know why they shrink down? Does swelling up fill them with food in addition to the polyps? It the shrinking expelling waste or rest or both or neither?

What's in your food mixture?

What's in your food mixture?

The coral food is a mixture, the Fauna Marin Gorgonia system (mixture of Fauna Marin's Clam Food, Sea Fan food, Ultra Min mixed with Ultra Min S) plus I add two drops of a frozen Phyto Concentrate (I get this from Brine Shrimp Plus,) a 1/2 teaspoon of DTs, Rods Coral Food, Golden Pearls 5 to 50, 2 ML of Brightwells Microbac, dried Cyclopeeze and to be sure I have everything covered a little Coral Frenzy. I follow the directions for Fauna's gorgonian system. I mix it up in 20oz of water.

In addition, two days a week baby brine shrimp 24 hours old and 1 feeding a day of frozen cyclopeeze.

The fish get fed a mixture of various pellets. All by auto feeders that run off of my Neptune.

Thanks for the info. I ask because I like to see lists of foods and methods being used for the various azoox tanks. Hopefully it helps others as well. Good luck with them!

Yea, sorry I should have listed it. I have in various other threads so I just assumed.... If they can't live on this then I don't know what else there is. Well back to my water change, LOL, I will be doing a lot more of these!

Thanks Moses, off I go. We shall see.

My pink one stays open alot more than my orange one does. Each has a little baby growing next too it that will be interesting to watch.

Nice, I hope my stays alive. You should take monthly/weekly pictures of the baby to chart its progress.
