Love my long tentacle plate. It gets huge when lights are on. My favorite coral in my tank

I love the helios too! It just sucks that mine won't accept food haha. I love watching them pass food to their mouths :)

Mine only eats small foods like pods or plankton. I have a short tent plate that is much smaller but will eat a good sized shrimp no problem. But not my ltp

So you answered one of my questions, what's you secret to keeping a long tentacle. I always shyed away from getting one because they have have a bad rep of not living long.

Mine are getting 120 to 180 par, moderate to mild flow, and are fed LPS pellets or mysis once every week or two~

I really dont do anything out of normal. Moderate flow medium light. I feed my tank once a week with fuel, coral frenzy and reef chili. My ltp will not eat chunks of meaty foods only small particle stuff. Mine is really easy to care for

I agree. No special care for me either. Medium flow with a slightly shaded area on the sand. I let them float about and settle in wherever they land.
I spot feed mysis or my own fish food two or three times a week and they usually do well for me :)
