until you can figure out why it is recessing. My guess is your alk levels are at about 5-6 when they should be 8-11.
just a cup of water that the lobo will fit in. full it with tank water and add live phyto (not the bottled dead garbage) and add either freeze dried cyclopeeze or thawed out frozen cyclopeeze. and let it sit for about 20 min then put it back in your tank.

I don't feed them at all.
Stop feeding them if you nitrates are at 100 like you said in your other post. They don't need to eat all that much and the nitrate and phosphate will kill them in the end. They will get all that they need from photosynthesis and then they can manage to catch a few tidbits when you feed the rest of the tank.
I have never target fed a LPS and they can easily double in size every quarter, or so. It is not worth fouling a tank to get them to grow faster. I currently have a caulestera with over 250 heads on it that started with 2 around valentines day.
