Lobo coral feeding response

[Coralix9]

I just got a bi color Lobo and it's been doing something weird when I feed it. At first, I gave it mysis and it ate it right away, no tentacles showing. Now, every time I feed it, the food just sits there by its mouth for like 20 minutes before the tentacles come out and it eats. I'm curious, why the change?

It's tough to pinpoint the exact reason for this behavior, but the fact that the Lobo is eating is definitely a positive sign. I wouldn't stress about it too much, though - as long as it's consuming the food, that's what matters. GL.

I've found that Lobos don't need to eat daily, especially if you're giving them larger meals. If it's gone a while without food and you finally feed it, it'll usually have a strong feeding response and chow down. Maybe that's what happened with yours - it was hungry at first and ate quickly, but now that it's getting fed more regularly, it's slowed down a bit.
