New Green Plate Coral

[wnppmy]

Managed to feed my new plate coral a lobster bit. Used my wand feeder stick, missed the mouth but plate moved it in few minutes to its mouth. Kept the clown away till reached the plates mouth with my feed stick, continual task. Have to later make a time lapse as slow movement. Cool!

i love to watch my plate coral eat. i have a dottyback that i have to fend off when i feed it. little brat always tries to steal the food.

you might wanna think about moving yours to the sand bed. putting it on a rock can damage the fleshy underside of it.

my plate.

Your likely correct, but not sure on my sand beds being beneficial or not, as leave mine intact.

Amazingly have a Dotty also same stealing behavior pattern, took the third pellet drop to reach my plate.

Also recently added a Lobophyllia also on rock to benefit from my medium low light.
