They should be fed at least once a week. Ideally 2-3x
Feeding is easy. It can be thawed mysis, pellet food, or to save time I’ll take a cup of tank water, throw in a few pinches of flake food, stir with baster and then slowly drop into the mouth area and feeding tentacles. My lights are nearly out and some of my various meat corals are showing they are hungry
You want to wait for fully open mouths/tentacles like this. Ignore the blue. If I bring my lights back up they will start to close
This guy is not ready. He’s getting ready but he’s not ready. Feeding him now might annoy him so I’ll wait.
He will look like this when he’s ready
If yours doesn’t open all the way after 2 hours of lights out, then it’s possible he is nutrient deprived and doesn’t have the energy to open fully and I would turn off all water flow and drip sinking food slowly directly into the mouth. For a few days and watch for improvement.
Do you have any experience with triggering feeding response using oyster feast or something?Your parameters are a little bit off from what I would keep, but I think the primary issue is feeding
My next steps would be
Alk 6, - try to keep 8-9 range
Sal 1.027, lower to 1.025-1.026
nitrate 16, decrease to 5-10
phos 0.5, decrease to < .1
ca 400 this is ok but on low end, 400-450 is recommended
This all can be corrected with a few large water changes over the course of a week or two.
