My heliofungia is recovering from either contact with a BTA or an increase in temperature...so low in the tank in a slow flow area....anyway was feeding my BTA and piece of scallop dropped into the helio....it was about 10 - 15mmm diametre and the helio is 6" diametre...anyway I thought the clowns would pick it up like they had another piece so I left it...anyway an hour later I saw the last of it disapearing into the fungia...amazing, now there is a huge bulge just where the "mouth" is......should I feed it large pieces like this? or is it bad for it

I read somewhere that feeding large pieces is not a problem as long as it is not very often otherwise it can lead to problems with indigestion (they used a bigger word that i cant remember) so you should be fine if you dont feed it this way all the time.

They have no teeth or jaws..... Make food as small as possible to aid digestion.
