Huge Elephant ear...

Bob 1000 · 09-13-2007, 03:06 PM

Do elephant ear corals eat...Because I have had this for a year and a half now without feeding it and about 2 days ago something told me to try ....So I put a piece of baby shrimp from the market on it's opening in the middle and it appeared to slowly close and it disappeared...Or maybe it ate it...this thing has not grown much since I got it, only about one or two inches it's the size of a 14in plate...If this thing does eat the growing potential has to be crazy...
Thanks..

This is it on the bottom right corner..
