3-5 months between the different products for all 3 tanks we have going.

DSC,
Can you post the daily rotation that you use with the Reef Nutrition products?

In the morning my wife will throw in some arctipods and mysis max. Afternoon I'm gonna have feed some TDO chroma boost instead of the other pellets we use. When I get home from work I mix it up with LRS reef frenzy and some mysis, roe and beta brine. I turn all pumps off to feed the corals and the mandarins. Couple times a week I mix oyster feast and reef roids to feed the corals.

Not sure if this will be an issue, so far there hasn't been any fighting. Anyone else have trachys close by micromussa lordhowensis?

How do you get your trachy to open up so well. Seems with mine no matter where I put it it has too much flow. Losing the will with it to be honest!

DSC reef · Mar 30, 2018

It gets enough flow to gently move the flesh but it's very indirect. I normally set the gyre to pulse mode. The trachy does go through periods of deflation but that's normal. It's pretty well acclimated to the tank at this point and readily feeds at any time of day when food hits the water.

Nice. Well it's stunning. I'll just wait it out with mine I guess then as it just doesn't seem to inflate ever. There's barely any flow on it and the only time I can get it to eat is by directly feeding it and putting a bottle over it to stop flow completely and even then it's very hit or miss. Colours are fine on it it's just these issues.

Start a thread about the trachyphillia you have and let's see if we can help you out. It's one of my favorite LPS. Thank you for the compliment.

Mine too and mine are always inflated except at night, they pull in tight

Perfectly normal. It's funny looking though!

I love the Reef Nutrition TDO pellets, they're the only one's any of my fish will take. You name a pellet, my fish won't eat it, besides the TDO.

Fudsey · Mar 31, 2018

Hey @DSC reef, one of my trachy's never shows his feeding tenticles and the other always does. Why is this, do you know?

DSC reef · Mar 31, 2018

Has one been in the tank longer?

Fudsey · Mar 31, 2018

Nope, both added the same day and they have always been that way. I have moved them a couple times each to the other's spot to see if that was what it is and no change.

I should add that the one that doesn't only has one mouth in the middle

DSC reef · Mar 31, 2018

As long as it looks healthy I wouldn't worry to much. I'm not sure the reasoning but keep doing the same routine without intervention and maybe it will start throwing feeders. The only time ours doesn't put out feeders is when it deflates for a few days.
