    # 2 looks like green star polyps or maybe pipe organ.

    TBELT, I just fed mine some cyclop-eeze. You can also feed them small chunks of brine, mysis, etc.....small bits of meaty foods. How often, I'm not really sure. I feed all of my corals once a week.


    Has whatever your thirs pic is opened up yet? Mine hasn't.

    How do you get the chunks to the coral? Just lay it there?

    You can use a small pipette and slowly pipe some food onto the coral.
