Open Brain feeding

Here's a twist... this threads all about brains eating... here's one of one of my first doing the opposite...

So should I take mine off the rock (if I can) and let it just be in the sand? I wonder how they stuck it to that small point rock its on? Got a puppy showing tonight. Gosh it's hard selling these baby's.

If it has a cone shaped skeleton then its a free living sand bed coral.Here's a pic of a baby Caribbean rose coral that i found at the LFS with zoanthids growing on it and nothing but skeleton,It is currently recovering well.

So by freeliving, you mean that little rosecoral should live directly in the sand, correct? No glue, no rocks? I'm going to check mine out now and see what I've got for a skeleton. It's always so wide open, I never think to look under there. It's one heck of a slimer to. lol It's like stringy snot all over the substrate! Back later!

I glued mine to a shall just to give it support and then pushed the shall done in to the sand
