I wonder if you kept the baster far enough back, that it was not a "shock"
to the coral when you blew DTS onto it, if it would be more effective? I
think the close up when disturbed, but I also think they will close up if
they have captured food... problem is it is hard to tell which reason is
causing them to close!

        My theory on this coral's feeding behavior is that when the tiny
little hairs 
        are present, it's probably feeding. What you said sounds good for
feeding it, 
        except that when it is moved or "bothered", the feeding "hairs"
close up. I 
        think that this coral feeds with the current, more than by
day/night. In my 
        grow-out system there are a few small pieces, and they seem to feed
at 
        different times, day and night.
        I just wish this stuff grew FASTER !
