My first lobo. $25 at the LFS. It's kind of egg shaped. It's about 1.5" long x 1" wide.

Thanks.

Lights went out about 2hrs ago. The lobo had feeding tentacles out within an hour after lights out, so I dropped a pea-sized bit of mysis and blood worms on it with the turkey baster. The lobo ate all of it.

It's probably a little light shocked. My LFS opens at 1pm and closes at 9pm. My lights are on at 8am and off at 6pm. I put the coral under a frag rack to shade it a little bit.

Do lobos like low/medium light - typical LPS? Or do I need to put it directly under the MH? My gut says low/medium light.

My lobo changes color and size according to light..when it was on the rockk work it was small and yellow/gray/orange...it has been on the sand bed for a while now...expands much more like a brain and the yellow has changed to green..the gray to violet..and the orange is still orange but very bright...

Mine really liked the sandbed. When I got it, it wasn't in good health but it didn't like strong light.
