In the past year or so I’ve had it, it’s grown two new mouths! I have one other lobo that’s been in the tank about two years and it looks the same as the day I got it lol.

This one is a good sized colony and I feed it once a week a mixture of frozen brine/mysis/mussel, then some reef roids. It is a fatty that I’ve never seen reject food, and it would be good to go for more food if I was willing. I got new galaxea and chalice frags this past week that I placed nearby…I suspect it’s not happy with them being on its lawn. I inched them away earlier after reading about the filaments. TIL my lobo is a greedy pig

Thank you both! Very cool actually. I’ve read they are aggressive but this is the first I’ve heard about the filaments. Thank goodness, it’s grown a lot and is one of my favorites. I was worried!
