well today i tried to feed my Brains but i did not see them eat, after like 30 min after the red puffed up like a balloon lol. Is this good or bad, he has don't this before.
the white one i just got a day ago. i drip acclimated it but i have not seen any reaction from her yet.

Puffing up is good! But the white one looks just like a dead skeleton - are you sure there is any tissue on it?

take the white one back and ask for a refund, its dead/close to death.

My brain coral puffs up and empties quite often, just make sure she doesnt have anything sharp near it, because if they get injured they have a really hard time healing.

The white one is completely dead. You were not sold a coral, you were sold a skeleton of a coral that already died. Definitely go back to the store and shove that up the @$$ of whoever sold that to you! :rofl:

The other ones look healthy and normal. Puffing up is normal for them too.

Also they wont eat if the feeder tenticles arent out, so dont worry about it not eating. They dont need to be fed to survive.

Oceancrazy you are supposed to be my brother and you made me switch from fresh water to salt water which is indeed much better, so give me a brake bro I'm still figuring this out lol .I still hate it when i have been had, no wonder it was so cheap lol. thought i was smart and had a good deal.
I know if you were here you would have closed the shop down lol.

Dont worry, we all make mistakes.

If you didnt pay too much for the brain at the very least you got a kewl tiny liverock. Most of the time when it comes to corals white = bad news. It usually means they are bleaching and dying
