No Feeding Tentacles!!

[warcoral5]

I have had this closed brain coral for over 3 weeks now and i have not seen one feeder tentacle. I was woundering if i should target feed it to persuade them to come out. Any suggestions on what to do?

Try small chunks of silver sides hold it gently on the coral until the feeders come out and it takes it.

When I first got my acan lord it would never show its feeder tentacles at all. I would wait till after my lights went out and it would come out a little and I would target feed a brine/mysis blend on top of its mouth. I havent had problems since
