    These are mine in my tank. I am going to frag a couple heads and put them higher in more flow to see if I get a difference out of them. More than 2 people having success in high flow / high light can't be wrong. I do feed mine regularly w/ soaked mysis so that is a common factor.

    Different strokes for different folks. LOL. Yeah I saw that yours were low flow and not exactly intense light... but mine did horrible in that scenario...maybe the spot feeding keeps yours happy.

    Let us know how they do...I'm sure they will have to be acclimated again though.

    The biggest difference I've seen depending on tank placement is the growth of the heads themselves... Mine were always of the very small, tight variety, and rarely grew the 'upside down bell' shape at the top of the polyp... Seems like it would make sense that if its not recieving the volume of light it wants, it would transform its shape to collect what it can.. Of course, thats purely theory based on observation

    I feed all my corals Phytoplankton. What else should I feed them to help. I also had them at the bottom of the tank. Im gonna move them tothe top and also around some good flow and see if that helps them out.

    phytoplankton is useful for your live zooplankton in your tank as well as your soft corals. LPS coral would probably prefer zooplankton to eat.

    I would feed them some of that, but I havent seen their tenacles in a while. They did look better today though
