    Most of my brain corals open up at certain times. I've had my Lobo for a week now and it has never shown tentacles.

    Yes, they do open up for feeding purposes, mainly at nighttime!

    Very, very cool. Looking at the morphology, and comparing it to others, it makes sense now. Thanks Curt.

    Nice vid ziggy, thanks for sharing.

    I wish the stores in my area carried better coral selections, I don't like the idea of shipping them.

    Most of my brains open up at night regardless of presence of food. I'm going to tangle a small piece of silverside and see what happens.
