    Another question is, Do you put it close to any other coral's of any kind in the tank? If so what are they and what kind of distance between them and the Brain?
    Have you tried any feedings at all, or will he accept any foods? brine or phyto from a syringe or turkey baster?

    I have never had a brain but all the animals to my knowledge have ways of showing discomfort or not being happy with where they are at or the flow in the location. Have you been able to spend enough time with him to know any signs he has like mentioned?
