Plate Coral Care

[04V10]

Hey Enigma,
I'd say give the plant some time. Wait until there is good extension of the tenticles and until the brown color on the plate is gone to feed. The plate is photosyntgetic as well, so it will feed that way. Not too sure of the nutrients it will take from the water column other than some calcium when the plate grows

Thanks!

I have yet to see any tentacles . . . but the flesh colour was looking better yesterday. I'm optimistic that it will come around.

I took some photos of it, but I need to try again. I think I need to turn off the Blue+ bulbs to photograph it, as the colour in the photos is completely unrepresentative of the coral.

Maybe I'll have to pull out the DSLR.

I've got a plate frag, it's just been on the bottom of the tank for 6 months. i don't feed it anything but light..

It is all very nicely puffed up under the moonlights

Should it puff up during the day? No tentacles that I can see.
