    Hello fellow reefers,
    I have a reverse prism favia that seems to be losing some of its color. I have tried moving him around the tank to different locations and can't seem to find one he likes. He currently is on the sand bed under a rock. Any suggestions on how I can liven this guy up?

    120 gal short (48x24x24)
    8.4 pH
    0 Ammonia
    0 Nitrite

    T5 lighting with 2 giessmann true actinics and 2 giessmann aquablues.

    Every other day ill crush up some frozen mysis cubes and feed him a little of that. Not sure I'm doing it right though, I haven't seen him open up and actually "eat".

    You can try dusting the entire aquarium with small particle coral food first right before the lights turn off and then when he starts to open up and feed then go with something larger.

    What would be a good small particle coral food? Still very new to the hobby.
