|  somethings wrong with my brain? (no wise cracks)
I told my wife something is wrong with my brain!....Lmao...you can only guess at the response!  So I decided to ask the pros.
Here is a couple of shots..
for the past 2 months open nice when MH is on..closes a bit as the CP lights take over 
this is what its looked like for two daze...even under the MH. 
It responded to touch..but it seems harder now than ever before. 
Any thoughts.... _________  |

is that salinity high? pH is low.....how bout the nitrates? can a brain deal with 10/20? does it need to be target fed? seems it has a pretty good sized mouth there....ANYONE else?
Also, I noticed in the 1st pic it's almost on the sand and the 2nd pic it's on a rock. is it moving? _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?

A brand new open brain, real beautiful colors, red, green and flor. green. I was curious to see how "good" one of my LFS's water is, so I tested it for no3. WOW, he has his coral tank at 80-100ppm's. I dont know if its that way all the time, but it must be, b/c he doesnt do WC and all his corals look good, some even great. Go figure huh? | |

I've read that some ppl do. I have never seen any tenticles coming out of mine when it was alive, not in the day or night. I usually spot feed when I see tenticles like my Candy coral. I will try to spot feed when I get a chance, the only negative aspect about spot feeding is, once you do it, your gonna do it for life. | |
