Unless your symphyllia is really thick and meaty, it doesn't have nearly as big of a gut as your other LPS. The mouths are definitely between the ridges, on the colored tissue in the flat valleys. In the wild, most symphyllia (especially my favorite, S. wilsoni) prefer to grow along flow patterns, and filter feed when food concentrations are high. If you'd like to see the real feeding action of your symphyllia, cut your flow and squirter a little cloud of a filter food around it. Mine like cyclops, rotifers, live phyto, or almost any of the commercial mixes.
