My open brain when the moonlights go on......... all around the edge tenticles come up looks really cool and it looks as if it pushes its center up like its flipping itself inside out.
dont know if that helps, but thats what i know
and there mouths open really wide sometimes......geussing thats when they are hungary | |

Luna | I have 1 yellow tang, 1 Vlamingi tang, 2 clowns, 1 dragon coby,3 blue legged hermits, and some snails, and a cardinal. Why would it go down hill in 1 day  man this sucks lol. Let me know what i can do if anything. One thing is that i just got my dragon coby and he has put sand on top of him before but i blew it off with a turkey baster. Would that effect it? | |

If nothing is picking at it(which happened to me) have you tested your water? Tangs are known to nip at OB and eventually kill them. OB dont tolerate hermit crabs. Luna | |

Luna | I have tested them and they are ok. My grabs dont move much at all and i have never seen them on it or around it. My tangs dont bother it either iv sat and watched for hours and nothing happend to if. So i dont know maybe i will do some more testing and take my time on it and try to figure it out. | |

Luna | Yes i have had it about 2 or 3 weeks and i have spot feed it at least 2 times a week. A few times some smashed up brine shrimp, and other times cyclopeeze,BS, and plankton mix. Is this enough feedings or not? | |
