beautiful coral. Be careful, they have really long sweeper tentacles that are pretty potent.

They get really long at night. Check it out with a flash light a couple of hours after your lights go out. When I dose aminos at the same time as feeding the fish the sweepers will come out as well.

If you look close you can see them. This is about an hour after feeding and they are starting to retract.

Wow your space invader is really huge with long tentacles! How often do you feed them?( mysis shrimp or reef roid) How big was it when u got it? It seems like not alot of reefers have huge piece of colony. Its really rare to see huge colony like yours.

I quit spot feeding it to control its growth a little over a year ago. My LFS had one the size of a volleyball and this was a frag from it. They will be happy with any of the available coral foods, Reef Chili, Reef Roids, etc. Turn the pumps off when spot feeding to give it time to bring the food that is trapped in its mucus into its mouth. All mine gets now is aminos and fish poop.

PS: It was only two eyes when I bought it.

They do! I talked to a shop in Jacksonville that goes in at night and snips the long sweepers with scissors!
