pics of corals eating?

[C.Mydas]

I've got a mushroom that is about 10in in diameter and is a little piggy! When I feed some food inevitably falls onto it and it closes up and chows down. It even eats pellets when they fall on it! Today we fed some live brine and A LOT landed on it and bam! Its been closed up eating for about 1/2 hour now.

(sorry I couldn't clean the glass first, it would have disturbed the 'shroom..this little ball of a mushroom stands 5in tall)

So heres the request:
Who else has piggy corals, got pics, and what does everyone feed their corals and how often?[/img]

Oh wow! That is so cool! I think mushrooms are the coolest out of all the corals so I really liked seeing that. All mine are little bitty but getting bigger. ^_^

In Bourneman's book "Corals" it shows a rhodactis eating a Banghai Cardinal!

ooops. Hope the clowns dont decide to host it! :innocent

That was a different species of Rhodactis in Bourneman's book, the large cup or elephant mushroom.

I used to have that as a little movie with more frames. I can't find it right now, but it was pretty cool to watch.
