pic from this morning, looking good i think:celeb1:
the 2nd pic is the frog in its new location, my only concern is if its getting too much flow. i like the location, and its off the sand/not coming in contact with anything which should allow ideal growth, as well as being in perfect light. But the flow has me slightly concerned, so any input would be greatly appreciated!thanks a bunch

In the 2nd pic, it looks like the 2 heads on the right have some skeleton exposed. Was it like that when you bought it? I ask only because the heads on the left look great. And if the heads on the right are peeling back due to the flow I think it might be a little strong. Don't know how likely it is the flow since only the 2 heads on the right appear to be affected, but thought I would ask just to be safe.

You can give it a try... but in my experience (and that of many others)... Euphilia sp. dont tend to exhibit much feeding response...
I like to spot-feed my corals.. and I have had success feeding many different types... but not my Froggy or Torch...
Phytoplankton is said to be wrong.. they are not filter-feeders... zooplankton might work... but they seem to show no response to it... Meaty foods such as shrimp or silverside.... just seem to float off after awhile..
This has been my experience anyway...
That having been said... Feel free to give it a go! Just be sure to remove anything they reject, so as not to foul your water unnecessarily..
Good Luck!

You can give it mysis if it will take it. We feed all of our hammer, torch and frogspawn mysis about 2-3 times a week (hence why over half our tank is all LPS)...you can pretty much tell right away if it is going to eat, the tentacles will grab onto it.

I have had my Frogspawn seems to grab a shrimp pellet.. only to drop it a few minutes later.. are you saying that all of your Euphilias feed regularly?

most of mine do....I use tweezers and feed with mysis...if they grab on I watch for a few minutes to make sure they are truly taking it. They don't always feed 100% of the time, but most times they do. I've been fragging twice a month and selling hammer and frogspawn to keep it under control. Now we're going to upgrade to a 125 and just let it grow itself out.

Do you turn off your pumps during feedings?

Thanks for the input jrsy, i attempted some mysis (with the pumps on) and it held the shrimp for a few seconds then released. i will try without the pumps on, but am not holding my breath. will certainly let you know!
Good to hear, much appreciated!
thanks for the input holsteiner!that interesting, and i will definitely continue to try and give it small amounts (as i feed my acans and favia twice a week)
i am also interested if you turn your pumps off, i do not, but have considered doing so. thanks everybody! :beer:

Thanks jrsy
! i appreciate it..i love the quote you would add up there too, one of my absolute favorites. the tributes from one Kennedy to another are truly inspiring, it definitely will make it's way up there! Another one of my favorites, just didnt put it up this time.."You just can't live in that negative way, if you know what i mean, make way for the positive day."-Positive Vibration, Bob Marley
