Hi everyone.
My Green Torch Coral is finally looking really good.  I have been trying to feed it becase I hear it will benefit from a feeding once a week. I tried to squirt some brine shrimp into it when the powerheads are off. It seems to hold it but then it just flows away when I turn on the pumps. It won't pull it into its mouth. How am I supposed to do this and what should I feed them? Thanks. |

I don't turn off the pumps to feed mine, just squirt food at it now and then and the tentacles catch it and carry it the mouth...

It might still be recovering from the recent light stress, give it time and try to feed as Cuticom suggested

Ok. Thanks.
What kind of things can you/should you feed it? |

mine does better taking smaller foods (baby brine shrimp, food that has been blended in a food processer). Ive never had any luck spot feeding, i feed the fish, leave the pumps on, and the torch catches what it can (as well as takes what the clownfish feed it).
