It consumed one of my dendronephthya, 1 1/2 months ago. I moved oysters from DT to test tank in the morning . And eventually found on the glass this evening. Bummer

It is beautiful.

Great work! They look healthy.

We increased our phytoplankton dosing last week, I'm afraid the polyp density has decreased on our Scleronephthya. The Dendronephthya still look okey, polyps out more mms than of the time.
Might upgrade our feeding more soon, try to steal some ideas from you ;)

@Jomama I have use your crazy idea to make a Chaeto juice and feed corals with it for three nights. In some of my LPS I see catch tentacles that I never seen before. Now I will try to get a baby from David and test with.

It's going to come down to right food. I increased food amount. This morning decreased. I add raw egg in my reciepts. In the egg it has amino acids, protein,bacteria, etc.....

Which type baby coral? That's great, on food. Million Dollar idea. I'm not as dumb as I look.
