balanophyllia species

Steve C · 04/13/2017, 07:11 AM

Just started I little NPS setup, have had Sun corals in the past. I have just got myself a balanophyllia. Would really like to know what species it is as I tend like a location based setup. I.e would like continue with species from the same region. Also what volume of food should I be feeding on a daily basis. I have been feeding 4-5 .5mm pellets over the last couple of days

Lose the pellets and start feeding fresh foods like shrimp, clams, fish, Mysis and live Blackworms. Feed 4-5 times a week.
