no food is no energy.....

if they use energy to bring out their polyps but dont get food then its energy wasted that needs to double up the next time they come out , if this happens too much they shut down.

some nps will eat them selves inside out as a last attempt to not starve.


this species is not an easy coral it requires daily attention and one little slip up could mean hand feeding for hours every day.

best left to dedicated feed systems





basically
