This may be the dumbest question ever made in this forum but what is that?

**jimpierce** · 03-12-2009, 05:43 AM

a brain. No kidding. I haven't researched further to know more technocle stuff on it yet. It was kind of like Charlie Brown's christmas tree. Everybody making fun of it and all. So I brought it home. :)

It's a coral, sid, common name brain coral, one of several species with that common name. Jim's has it's feeding tentacles out.

Well when he said a brain i assumed it was a brain coral but didnt knwo brain corals had tentacles, at first i actually thought it was a anemone furling itself inwards or something else doing the same.

sadly for one of my brains I did learn too late they are to be fed. The LFS left that out. I tried to revive the other one but it did not make it.
I now tend to it as I do my Suncorals.

I guess I'm not that good at asking the right things when I search as I have yet to be able to find ant information on this type of brain.

How do you feed brain corals?

**Dave66** · 03-12-2009, 07:03 AM

Do you use Cyclop-eeze, Jim?

And sid, they eat the colloids known as marine snow, phytoplankton and zooplankton, naturally.

Thats a very nice brain you have there jim! I really like the colouration to it.

What light requirements do the brains have? Or are they just strictly fed?
