frogspawn mouth?
Do nonbranching frogspawn have mouths? I can't seem to find any, but I don't want to damage their skeleton either. I like feeding my coral (I know I don't have to), but I avoid feeding my nonbranching frogspawn (I have a branching one with clear mouths) because I'm just not sure if its actually ingesting anything.

Single polyp LPS are a lot like anemones in that they have a central mouth that is feed by tentacles that move food to the mouth. Unlike anemones, unless the feeding tentacles are out food just bounces off them. If you really want to feed them I suggest you feed after lights out and when the tentacles are visible.
