New Scoly question

[steallife904]

Scooped up a bleeding apple at reefapalooza on Saturday. Its my first scoly. Not first coral by any means just first scoly

I wanted to know how long a break in period might be on these guys, I got it at the bottom of tank in a lower light spot and would say lower flow in the sand right up against a rock. If is fat and looks fine but I have yet to see it explode out with its feeder tentacles. I feed it on Monday and it quickly ate it up and kind had the feeders out but did not over inflate and stretch them out like I have seen. I feed the tank daily Rods frozen food so fish and corals get food daily, spot feed couple times a week... anyway is this normal? is it still breaking in or do not all scolys do that?

Have you checked at night? That's usually when they open up and have their feeder tentacles out.

 

[steallife904]

yes but possibly I did not check late enough or long enough after lights out??? I also have checked in the morning before lights on and still did not have them out

Unless I put food in the water my scoly doesn't react to anything other than a fish being on it. At night it pretty much turns itself inside out to eat. It's been doing great for three years

i have yet to see mine turn inside out. It eats when it catches food or i feed it but never turns inside out like i have heard them... so im thinking maybe its still adjusting or maybe it doesn't like the spot i put it in??? Or do not all of them do this?
