    That is a gorgeous coral. Nice score. Have you been able to feed it yet?

    Well it's been a rough couple of days for this guy....
    I was feeding it every few days and it was doing great, but then it got really small. At first I thought nothing, after 24 hours i though maybe it was mad at me for a possible temp dip with the cool night's we've had. (I didn't have a heater because of the chaos that's occurred while I was on vacation) so got a new heater obviously and checked on it frequently. But there were no signs of improvement. So I fed it last night heavily, i fed it this morning, and the it this evening and its finally starting to come around.

    So for those of you with acanthophyllia , how much and how often drop you feed, also what do you feed?
