wellso folded brain

[sublime9182]

I believe this is a wellso folded brain? Does anyone have any tips on keeping these guys? Right now it is on the sand on the right out of the direct light I have had it two days and both nights his feeders were out... how often should I feed?

It does look a lot like my wellso, I broadcast feed my tank every other night with mysis and home made food. It rarely catches something so I do an additional spot feeding once per week of a few pieces of mysis.

Sounds good so far I've been feeding it it reef supreme or music once a week. It's doing good.
I believe it is trachphyllia radata.

Wellsophyllia is no longer a term but used to refer to open brains (trachyphyllia) that had folds which were fused such as yours. As far as care my trachy seems to do well on the sand in low flow with direct, but not intense, light. I target feed a little before the lights come on once a week or so.

Yea I figured that out ( the comment above )
It's trachyphyllia radata and it has been doing great feeding my sis silvers ides or brine once or twice a week.

I don't mean to be a jerk just hoping to clarify in order to explain that they have identical needs. (Also trachyphyllia radiata is a synonym for trachyphyllia geoffroyi and is currently not accepted as a taxonomic identification)

Either way congratulations its a fantastic piece and sounds like it's eating like a champ.

No by all means thank you for the knowledge. I'm terrible with scientific names.

And thanks I k of I will definitely be adding another one in the future they are facsinating.
