    My bicolor blenny has been harassing my 2 week old brain coral, it shrinks when the light is on ( till you see the skeletons ) . i've been feeding it chopped squid. shrimp for the past 2 days and the feeding response is good. would continuous feeding like that benefit it since it's new and sick. :-X

    Brain corals do not need to be fed, especially every other day!
    They will receive the majority of their nutrient requirements via their zooxanthellae.

    If it's left alone it should be ok. I would feed it, if you feel it necessary about once a week. By the way, nice looking tank. I love the rock work.
