New Brain Coral Dum dum dun!

Brain Coral, Trachyphyllia is the new brain coral in my tank of biocube 29 with stock lighting!

I currently placed it on sand, and i think its doing..okay? good? I can't tell if its good or not lol, it looks the same rather its bothered or not bothered.

Any good tips or suggestions for their care guide? Thanks
Pictures coming soon

 

On the sand is where it should be, feed it a mysis shrimp or something similar every week or two.

here is my brain coral, there seems to be little problem, kinda showing skeleton at the bottomg is this critical sign?

Myis shrimp, do I target feed it?

 

Yea target feed it some mysis or something like that. I feed mine at night when just moon lights are on and current is on night mode (low current). you'll see the brain fold around the food pushing the food to its mouth ITS REALLY COOL!

 

I'll try that :] thanks.
But any advice on the skeleton part showing on the brain coral please?

 

Give it a band-aid. :]

 

Get your pictures up and we can give you a little more informed answers. I have a rather large one, its sitting about midway up on the rocks in my tank but it sits under a ledge so its really shaded pretty well. ( I have 8-54 watt t5's) I've had it for about 1.5 ears and it was about 3" across when I got it.

I target feed is 1 cut up medium Frozen or fresh shrimp at least 2 times a week. it started out looking like what you are describing, a little bit of skeleton showing but after 1.5 years of feeding and care here is what I have.


And here is a picture that gives you a better idea where it's located in my tank.

 

holy shizzle thats one awesome tank lol
and sorry bout the pic

I could of sworn I posted that link lol, oh well. Here it is though. Nice brain coral there really epic

 

Thanks for the complements.

Yours actually looks pretty good, and no worries on the skeleton on the bottom, that's normal. But placement concerns me.

I would maybe try to get it in a bit more shaded spot, like where your thermometer fell to if it will fit. then watch it and see if it puffs up when lights come on. if not move it out a little bit. They cannot handle bright light to well.

 

even with pc lighting? but okay I'll move it tomorrow. Im glad to hear this is okay lol
I thought he was dying
