no feeding response from trachyphyllia

have you looked for its tenticles at night?

I have the same issue, although mine has not changed in color for the 3 weeks ive had it.

I have been having issues with mine though... like it inflates for 3 days then deflates and looks sickly for 3 days, like its on a cycle. I have yet to see it put out its feeders.

Everything else in my tank is fine, including a frogspawn... I was under the impression that frogspawn was the first type of coral to show problems if your tank is not doing well...

yes I have looked at night before.
The weird part : Right before seeing if anyone responded, I looked w/ a flashlight and voila TENTACLES!

I have looked every night and seen none. maybe it was the silverside I tried to coax it with 2 hours ago. now to see if it eats!

It ate . It ate. It ate half a siverside! I am singing right now. ooh ooh ooh!
