You're really gonna put a mantis in there, right?

4.5 gallons is a bit tight for most fish, if you ask me. A firtideflow or some barnacle blennies could work out, though.

What's the ideal feeding schedule for this guy, how often should I be targeting it

What kind of lighting do Scolys require, are they low light tolerant or is there a specific range they thrive in?

I actually do feed the tank, twice a week with coral frenzy, prawn roe and Rotifers. The scoly does get sprayed with the mixture.

I've been trying to feed it, actually gave it some shrimp pellets recently, but those shrimps just swarm it. I'm pretty sure it got some, though. Haven't really seen the tentacles out in a while. If I catch them out, I'll try feeding it a cube of mysis. What's weird to me is those pics you posted ...

I think I can help you out DarkHive. Lights are Ecotech radions. Have you considered your lighting schedule and intensity? I'd take a closer look at that, as well as your water changes. With your salinity that high, it's possible it's stressing your scoly.

I'm getting worried about my scoly - the skeleton is starting to show.
My parameters are all good - 11.4 CA, 389 mg, and 1500 alkalinity. The only issue I can think of is my salinity, which is a bit high at 1.0028. I'm pretty sure it spiked when I bumped up my Mg levels a month ago to deal with ...

Attach the pearl weed to a rock using a suitable adhesive, then place the rock in the substrate. This way, the plant will stay in place until its roots are established.
