Default Brain coral skeleton + vacation feeding

I've had this brain for three weeks and just noticed that a bit of the skeleton underneath the flesh is showing. Should I be adding extra calcium or other forms of supplementation in addition to my water changes (with Instant Ocean, every two weeks)? I have a bit of other LPS in my small tank--acan, frogspawn, small hammer and torch.

On another note, I have been feeding the acan and brain every other day or so with mysis... will they be okay without feeding when I'm away for 2 weeks?

Thank you!

That doesn't look to bad, as long as your water parameters are stable don't think just adding extra calcium or anything will change much and i wouldn't go changing a bunch just before you leave on holidays

Ive found feeding like your doing works the best for these to recover, and it should be fine for a few weeks while your gone

Don't mess with the water!!! (Don't add Ca, or anything)

Feed before you go and when you return...

Just my thoughts...
