Re: Favia feeding response

Another thing to check is your nitrate levels. Too low and they might not have the energy to feed. Mine's happiest around 5-10 ppm.

Re: Favia feeding response


My Favia isn't showing much feeding response lately. I've tried mysis, brine shrimp, and even reef roids, but it barely extends its tentacles. Tank params are stable, 78F, 1.025 salinity, 8.2 pH. Anyone else dealt with this?


Have you tried target feeding with a pipette? Sometimes they need the ...

Thankfully, my Scoly bounced back quickly once I got the temperature back up. I gave it some LPS food as a precaution and now it's doing ...
