    thank you. The pictures don't do them justice. They were a frag pack that I bought online sight unseen. I'm happy.

    Did you have it on the sand bed or on rock? I am thinking about putting rubble around them for easier spreading and fragging.

    I had mine on the rock...BUT it was on a nice flat piece.

    There is no way I could feed mine between the fish and the shrimp they wouldn't let them eat and probably would damage them. How do you keep your fish from stealing their food?

    What I did was fed during the time I was feeding the fish but fed the fish on the opposite side and used my little wand stick thing to ward off those who did try

    You may try cutting off the top one third of a plastic coke bottle and placing it over the frags on the sand bed. Use a turkey Baster and feed through the small opening. Fish and crabs can't get to the food and the water flow will not blow the food off. Remove when we'll fed !!! This usually works well on any target fed corals.

    I feel like we could fine tune that idea and market it....just a thought

    Thanks Norm! Do you have to weight it down or anything? I'll try that tonight and see how it goes.

    I use a turkey baster to feed my corals and feed the fish and shrimp first.

    You could put a small flat rock on top if you need to
