I would get a sea squirt and feed it directly. Try some mysis or brine
shrimp. You could also throw some cytopleze in there. I'm not
positive, but I think brains feed mostly at night.

No I don't feed it actually. I've heard from a couple people that they,
personally, never fed theirs. I then read that they can be fed but their
main source, and only necessary source, for food is lighting. I did try to
feed twice but my cleaner shrimp stole it all as they do. ha. Anyway,
after that experience and reading, I washed the idea. Damn I'm going to be
mad at myself if I've starved it to death.

Now I do feed cyclops sometimes and who knows if other frozen dinners are
making into the red lobo's breathing hole... I just haven't directly try to
feed it.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Bryan,

Do you feed the lobo? They need to be supplemented with food.

I got a red lobo several months back and over time it has lost it's color
and is very bony. It went from dark red to a light yellowish-pink color.
Until recently it would still try to puff up for a while but now never
puffs
up. I'm pretty sure it's a dead cause but I'm curious if anyone knows
why
it would do this.

after two weeks of having it. The red lobo in the middle still looks
happy.

Everything else in my tank looks great, is growing, many things are
splitting, etc. Water parameters all where they should be, halides and
actinics are in place. I would normally just write if off as sick when I
got it but it sure did look healthy. I need to know if there was
something
I could have done... or maybe still can.

Thanks,
Bryan
