    I got some amazing new frags a last weekend from JP at JustPhish. Here are what I believe the common and scientific names are:
    -Kenya Tree Coral (Capnella sp.)
    -Frilly Brown Mushroom (Rhodactis sp.)
    -Green Caribbean/Bullseye Mushroom (Discosoma sp.?)
    -Button Polyps (Palythoa sp.?)

    I'll try to get some halfway decent pics soon to post. In the mean time, are there any special feeding requirements for these species that I should be aware of? I've done some reading online and found the usual variety of information. Thought I'd post and hope for some concensus.
    Thanks in advance!

    I wouldn't worry about feeding them as they'll get plenty of food just from the light, not to mention that they'll catch and eat fish food when you feed your fish.

    Good to know. I really didn't want to start phyto/zoo cultures...
    I feed a variety of Mysis and Ocean Nutrition Brine Shrimp Plus flakes and Prime Reef. Should that do it?
