Long Tentacle Plate Coral

[Northstar24]

So I have a green Long Tentacle Plate coral in my tank, it was definitely an impulse purchase. After a little bit of research it turns out these usually dont fare well in closed systems. (Lesson Learned) I've also read that they need to be fed. I havent really target fed corals before and I'm a little confused with the plate coral. It does not have sweeper tentacles that come out at night, it acutally shrinks down at night. I have read that they should have a mouth, but even when shrunk down, I dont see a mouth on this thing to target feed.

Anyone here have any experience with these?

It should have a slit down the center of it. If you put food on the tentacles while they are extended, it will move the food to its mouth.

Thanks Sarah, I'll take a closer look after I get home tonight

Is there anything you dont have the answer too?

I've had a lot of luck feeding corals with cyclopeeze.
