New brain with pics

Since I passed on that other brain. I found another I really liked. I got it for a total of 60 shipped on ebay. Here are a few pics.

Hit flash by mistake

Sorry for all blue, this is his first day in my tank. So I have a few questions. When can I turn on my MH? How do I know when to feed him and when should I try? Last but not least He is leaning a little on the bottom, My sand bed isn't deep enough for him to stand up straight should I be concerned?

Bump any advice would help.

I wouldn't worry about the leaning. That'll probably change as it expands. Some people use window screening stuff to acclimate things to their tank. Since the brain is at the bottom of the tank on the sand bed, I think you'll be fine if you turn your MH's on.

Sweet thanks for the help.

Bump he swelled up after I turned on the MH

Is it ok to feed this guy every other day? I have one in the back I got from the LFS that was in trouble, should I feed him more often?

The coral looks healthy to me in the pic. I don't feed my brains directly at all. I used to feed them quite frequently, but I read that they will continue to ingest food and in turn can rot inside them. If I were to directly feed my brains I would do it once a week or twice at the most.
