Blastos are major chunk eaters. If you can prevent someone else from stealing it, the blasto will eat major chunks of seafood, as well as formula pellets.

Ya, I don't expect the Gorgonian to live indefinately. I'm hoping I can extend its life by feeding well.

Good to know about the Blastos! I didn't get a chance to feed them lastnight. I'll try right now, but the lights aren't on yet. Not sure if they'll feed in the dark or not...?

I think I'm going to lose those Blastos...they are receding even worse, and I get get them to eat anything. Their mouths gape open all the time, and don't ever close even when touched. I put some pellets in their mouth holes lastnight, but the coral didn't react at all.

*grumble* Time to cut down the feeding. Getting HA. Sorry Gorg, but it's not lookin good for ya!

Oh, and the Blastos that I bought all receded - they kicked the bucket. Risky buy...shouldn't have wasted my money.
