    i dont think it is the food, but majority of corls use the calcium to grow up big and strong, you can get a shrimp and cut it up and feed a little portion to the brain it is cool to watch

    Open brains will eat any small meaty type foods such as brine shrimp.

    Mine isn't doing to well either. I have had it for years and can't figure out what is wrong. I have increased the current in the tank recently and I'm afraid that is what the problem is.

    I used to feed mine small Krill.....it was really neat to watch it eat it. At night when you see the tenticles out...pass a little thawed krill over them and it will close up on it like a clam.......I feed mine about every three days. It was on the bottom under 260watt lights in a 75 gallon and it did really good. Kind of sensitive to other corals in their area so make sure that nothing else is really around it. They like good cal. levels too. Get them too low and it will shrivel up like an old man.
    If life is like a box of chocolates, then someone sat on mine!
