Sorry about the crappy pics, I don't have a lot of extra room in my nano and figured it would be happiest in the back with lower flow and light. Basically this rhizo was a friends, it wasn't in great shape when they got it, the seller didn't show currect pics and it was receded with algea growing over the rim and rather sad looking.
It greatly improved but never looked 100% or felt very sticky, tank got neglected and most corals died or look terrible like this one, they finally broke down the tank and brought everything over to me. We are talking months where this coral has looked basically like this, I am honestly amazed it has hung on this long.
It's been in my tank about 5 days, what's left of the mouth never closes and I have no idea if it's actually still capable of eating or not. I've been feeding tiny items, reef chili, cyclopeeze, small mysis to my collection but haven't really noticed this one attempting to eat any. Is it beyond hope? It does appear to have more going on in the middle, originally it looked like there was no insides, just fleshed draped over the skeleton.
