First of all, althought i have done some research on brains prior to this post, i am not sure if these guys are LPS or softies lol. Anywho, down to my main point.
So now my water perimeters are perfect again after the addition of my two true percs and my bio filter has adjusted to the added bioload. So.....since i dont want to add anymore fish because one of my clowns is recovering from Hole in the head which i am treating with melafix. I want to add instead a few new types of coral and my top priority for now is getting an open brain coral. I have read so much about them and i have fallen in love! I dont think you can get any closer to a clam than with an open brain. Perfect for my newbie status (im assuming) and much easier for me than a clam. So.....my question is...
How much and how often to feed it and what is a reasonable price for a frag and the price for a more average sized brain? As some of you may know, my LFS wants $200+ for an average sized specimen.
My research tells me that the best time to feed is at night when the sweeper tentacles are out, my plan is to switch off with spot feeding meaty marine cuisine frozen food and marine snow planktonic diet 3 times weekly. What do yall think?
Sorry this post is so long...i just have a whole bunch to say :p
thanks,
