Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think food should stick to the fleshy parts of an open brain. They aren't made of the same composition as anemones. Their tenticles on the other hand were designed to grab food particles from the water column. Further more, after shipment or any other kinds of stress corals can temperariliy loose their protective slime coating, thus loosing whatever stickiness the coral may or may not have. Just my 2 cents.
