    I have only had this coral for about 3 days and I fed it today. Is it suppose to look like this when it eats. I know that they usually eat at night but the tentacle were out during the day so I went ahead and fed it. It seems really puffy.

    It was a surprise my husband stopped at the lfs and came home with it. I had to hurry and read everything that I could find about this brain. I learned about how often to feed but I doesn't say anywhere what amount to feed and what it actually looks like when they feed. I think its awesome :)

    In my experience, when corals puff up like that, they are happy. : ) brains are cool when they do that, its almost like you have 2 corals in one.
