Hey guys! Quick question, does my brain coral look healthy to y’all? I never see it’s little tentacles come out. Do I need to be feeding it? Thanks in advance!

Can't really feed it without the tentacles. Do you happen to have a dwarf angel in there? They generally can not resist brain corals.

It would be beneficial to feed it every now and then. When you do feed turn your return pumps, overflow, powerheads etc. off for 15 minutes or so so that it can get the most out of feeding. You should begin to see the tentacles, reaching out to get the food.

No I don’t, just a pair of clowns, a leopard wrasse and a mandarin.

At what frequency would you recommended the feedings?
