Help identifying coral

What is it?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a Trachyphyllia to me.

 

[DSC reef]

Trachyphyllia +1

It might spread out for you more if it were on a flat rock or the sand Bed

Any help on this? I'm redding daily pieces of shrimp, scallops etc. Sadly it dosent seem to inflate.

It's eating but some part itd residing.

I can't put it in the sand, the diamond goby makes a mess even putting sand on it.

Really that's all that you can do to help it. They occur on the sand bed in the wild

Try a flatter rock in an area with very little flow....

And what lighting?

 

[Krzydmnd]

Low, to medium lighting has been successful for mine

Yup low light low flow and feed anytime you see feeder tentacles out.

I usually don't see them out. I have to manually feed and wait to mouth to open.

It's a pain because it's so slow I have to protect the coral from the crabs and everything trying to eat its food

About. An hour or later after lights out is a good time to try. The shrimp will be asleep and hopefully the trachy is opened up for feeding

Yup check at night and place cut off soda bottle with slits over him until hes done...
