softie question...

[bv_reefer]

-I have 20 pounds of live rock and 4 chromis and a lil' softie coral,
and he's always moving around and filter-feeding and i was just wondering
if i need 2 supplement his diet with that 16 ounce bottle of phytoplankton?

-also i know that 2 much light during the cycling period gives u nuisance
algae, so how long shud my lights be on for my softie?

What soft coral do you have? Most soft corals do not need phyto feedings.
In terms of your lighting perod, 7-8 hrs of MH should do the trick.

What kind of softie is it?

I never knew corals moved locations......

-it's still a little early 2 say, but u can definitely see the shape,color,
and structure of it. it has 5-7 white stems and each stem has a bunch of
little sweepers that are always moving around,opening and closing. I'd say that the little sweepers are brownish and white.-any suggestions?
