Good plan.
Tom recalls correctly, the genus (I think that's the level) was reclassified to Trachyphyllia a couple of years ago.
I have mine not only on the sandbed, but COMPLETELY shaded by a huge Sarcophyton directly above it. I'm running T5's and it has been doing great in that location.

Good luck with it. If you want me to post a pic of mine depicting location and appearance, JLMK.

Wellso update

As followup to my original issue and in case others are interested....i took over the baster feeding and put baster within quarter inch of wellso. Gave it some frozen brine shrimp. Within 3 or 4 hours it started puffing as if Pam Anderson had forfeited her botox. No more skeleton visible altho its not expanding its footprint terribly much like it used to.

Fed wellso same way again tonite and its even puffier. Hoping to see it get back to the expanded footprint but at least i'm not seeing its skeleton.

So thanks to all for comments.

PS..I use T5 lighting, the wellso is in the sandbed but not really shaded.

Steve, great news. Congrats on nursing it back to health. You're not out of the woods yet, so keep it up, but sounds much better and hopeful than last week.
