That looks great. I want to grab a couple for my new tank. Curious, what do you feed and how often?

Thanks! Are you on BAR as well? If you're in the bay area, you should come over and have a beer and check out our tank if you'd like. We still know almost nobody out here.

Thanks. Frozen Argent cyclopeeze and omega one micropellets. These guys have a strong feeding response for both and will pull food out of the water column if it gets close enough. I target feed once or twice a month as well (dump some pellets on their mouths).

Excellent!
You can see which polyp is the original and which are new growths. It's like young grass and older grass in a lawn. Very nice!
