    i took a few top down pics of my long tentacle plate coral eating a chunk of frozen squid. i always find it interesting. it is kindve a slow process. but you can see the food dissappearing into its mouth.

    i try to spot feed at least 2x per week. sometimes three. it seems to be doing very well.

    Enjoy
