I have a beautiful green matalic brain that didnt like the lighting much so now I have moved him, ( thanks John )  he seems to be getting his color back and getting puffy again. I want to be sure I keep him healthy this time. Should I be feeding him anything special and if so what and how often. I have never seen a mouth or anything else like that with this guy... I currently feed a blender mix with everything under the sun in it daily and pearls 3 times a week. Is that enough??  TIA
I have flying monkeys and I'm not afraid to use them.

If you can keep the fish away from him, you can actually feed him larger food such as small silversides.  Good to hear he's looking bettter!

Yup.  It should move the food into it's mouth.  I think Jake has video showing this from his "feeding a reef" presentation, just a sec...   Go here:  http://www.utahreefs.com/presentations/feedingareef/Feeding% 20a%20Reef%20Tank_files/frame.htm  and you can see the video.  Give a try.  If the fish steal it, you could try covering it.

I would feed him shrimp from the grocery store.  Great video of Jake feeding a brain silversides in the Feeding A Reef Presentation.  Just click on presentations <----------------

Looks like Jon and I were thinking the same thing and posting at the same time.
