Still no feeder tentacles.

Actually, I haven't seen them on my "Rare Alien Eye Brain" either. That one is about 1/4 dead...how it arrived when I ordered on-line. All three items I ordered were very bad when I got them. Empty bags that leaked everywhere. Terrible rotting smell. One blue xenia rock with not one blue xenia on it. I won't name names because I didn't try to resolve my issue with them so it's unfair. Live and learn I suppose. I'm sticking to LFS, drs foster and smith, and my RS friends from now on.

Whoops...off on a tangent there. I just checked my new lobia with a flashlight and it still has nothing coming out. When do you think I should try to feed him?

Does this sound like a good plan...use a 2 liter soda bottle cut off at the bottom and squirt 1/8 cube dissolved cyclops with a drop of Vitachem mixed in. What time of day should I do this since I can't see any expansion at any time I've checked? One of my brains is extended in the morning before lights on, and the other is extended at night (and sometimes a little in the day as well)

Should I cut out one of my fish feedings because there is sure to be some float off when I remove the 2 liter? Speaking of, how long should I leave the bottle there to allow it to feed?

I am so nervous! Jeez, you'd think I was performing surgery instead of feeding a coral.
