Mine never eats. Still alive though. Not sure what's up with that.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. Gonna try the pipette method and cut the flow tonight. Lighting's on a 10-hour cycle with Radion XR15s. Salt's Red Sea Blue Bucket.

Radions are great, but 10 hours might be too long. Try reducing to 8 and see if they perk up. Also, what's your phosphate level? High PO4 can suppress feeding.

Garlic extract's a gamble. Some corals love it, others ignore it. If you try it, go light. Too much can funk up your water.

Another thought: check for pests. Flatworms or nudis can stress them out, making them refuse food. A quick dip might reveal something.
