Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've had success with feeding mine small amounts of food - it's helped with growth. Pellets seem to work particularly well, my coral's really taken to them.

The females are generally blue, I've noticed the males tend to change colors quite frequently. It's pretty rare for a female to turn yellow, usually only happens when they're trying to assert dominance, and even then, it's not always a full-on yellow.
