This is an odd  plate eating krill. You can see its eyes dead in the center. Just thought i'd share it. really wierd to watch this thing eat. The mouth will open as big as my thumb..The plate only has hair like polyps-tentacles on it edge that has nothing to do wth it capturing food. Beautiful purple and green under any light even direct sunlight.

Paul, that is an awesome piece Clap
 
How do you feed it, without fish stealing the food?

Most of my fish really dont care much for krill. I usually target feed the plate then feed fish on the opppsite side of the tank.
Anyone else ever seen this kinda of plate or know the excate name of it.
