Just thought I would share my joy about now working on twins. My branching green hammer is splitting and I noticed yesterday that you can finally see two mouths on it. That and I have 4 small buds growing on it too. Now, since this is only really exciting to me please go back to whatever it was you were doing that was more important.

| Double green. Green stems, and brighter (more yellow) green tips. |

| Shane, What do you target feed your frogspawn? I haven't been able to get mine to take anything. Most things it just casts off after 5 minutes or so. |

| I still have some of the food left over from the feeding meeting that I squirt over them, but what my frogspawn really likes is zooplankton. Plus whatever he catches in my daily feedings. He tends to catch quite a bit of brine shrimp. I know he eats well because he does his little "excrement" at least every other day. |

What and how often does everyone target feed their lps corals I haven't fed my hammer at all really, and only occasionally my candy coral--both are growing well. Just curious to see if I could get mine to grow better and faster. |

| I have a modern brain that eats whole silversides. It takes it awhile, but he will ingest a whole fish. I also target feed my candy coral with slices of silversides when I think about it. They are also slow eaters. If you feed after lights out, the fish are less aggressive and often leave the food alone. I have tried to feed my torch coral, but mostly it just catches whatever I feed the fish. He happens to be located right below where I feed, so he gets a lot of food by default! |

I target feed my Flower Anemone and my LTA using whatever I'm feeding that day, Homemade food, Silversides, Brine, Cyclopeze, Etc. I also target feed my Sunpolyps either brine or cyclopeze. I have also tried to target feed my Blastomosa, Hammer, and Frogspawn, but I've never been sure that they are taking it. At first I tried feeding my frogspawn small pieces of silversides, but they would move them away from thier mouthes until they just floated from their tips. I believe that do take some cyclopeze, but It's so small I can't be sure. Everything in my tank seems to love cyclopeze, even the Dendronephthya so I figure the Hammer and the Frogspawn probable like it too. I hope. |
