Those need lots of food. I have/had a couple come as hitchhikers on some live rock. I don’t think they made it but they are cool. Just lots of feeding to keep alive.

Edit. Old info apparently . Target feeding every 2-3 days is apparently ok.

@billyocean I know we've discussed magnesium in here before. But I can't remember, do you check yours and what does it usually run?

1400-1500
Sometimes I check it and it's a hair below 1400 around 1380. I don't check it often as it drops slowly. If it's lower I'll dose it back up over a week or two

I'm finally down to 1410, I don't dose it, well AFR has some, and IO Reef Crystals is pretty high. But I've been doing less water changes this summer.

I was thinking of slowly bumping it up to 1500 over a week.

1500 is fine..snails start moving slower when you get a bit past 1500

That's what I've read, I think I tested fresh SW at over 1600, so until my corals started using it I had a heck of a time. Almost switched salts.

I should test it again, I remember I couldn't ever get an accurate reading, it would use the whole amount of regent and I would have to math more...lol

But I've got some great growth, obvious corals are using everything.

Thanks! My regular dendro I feed every 2-3 days. Never had one of these fat ones, very bright.

Already established pecking order and loving up on the torch I got.

Its weird how different salts work for everybody. IO Reef crystals for me has a high calcium about 470-480 fresh and my mag is around 1320-1350. Im on my second batch too and had the same experience with both. For my small tank I just throw a few cap fulls of mag in a fresh batch and it usually keeps me up between 1400-1500.
