Ok..
I just got a Yellow Open Brain Coral yesterday from the LFS. Since I have never had a Brain...CORAL, I was under the impression it was soft. But when putting into the tank I noticed it was hard. I have noticed in the center of the brain there is 2 openings. They will open and close slightly. I have read on another post that in the night they will extend their arms.
Well as of last night I checked several times and never seen these arms?
My questions are:
1. Is this correct that the brain coral is hard around the outside?
2. Are these arms, suppose to come out all the time?
I was hoping that I did not buy a dead or soon to die Brain Coral..
Tank:
55 gal Reef been going over a year. CPR Skimmer, 3-4" DSB, 220 watts PC, Live Rock.
Feed Kent Marine Zoe(2 times a week) and use Essential Trace Elements (once a week).
