Here's the brain baby I got at Jason's a few months ago. How's yours doing? Mine hasnt really grown much. I'm afraid to target feed it, my Pep shrimp tear into anything I try to target feed. I'd say its almost doubled in size though.

Glad yours is doing well.  Mine has grown quite a bit, since I do target feed it.  It's starting to get that 'dome' look.
I have it on the frag rack, so nothing can get to it.  Man, does it love to eat!  ("Brain Food"!   Grin)
I'll send a pic tonight.

I'll have to post a pic in the AM - couldn't find a recent one and the lights are out on the tank.   Roll Eyes

Thanks!  I think it had 3 heads when I first got it.

You know what you can try with yours?
Wait til it looks like it's ready to eat - with it's tentacles outstretched.  Then put it in a cup of tank water, and put a ton of fish goo in it.  Let it sit for 15 min. Gently change out some of the water and wait for it to digest before putting it back in the tank. 

You can always put something over it too, like a small water bottle cut in half.

The problem is something, I believe to be a couple peppermint shrimp literally tear the food out of the corals gut after the lights are out. Slowly all of my LPS are being moved to a different tank without predators.

That's the reason I no longer keep peppermint shrimp or skunk cleaners.  Especially in pairs.  IME, when you have just one, there's no problem, and you are too tempted to get it a friend.  That's when they turn into little terrorists.
