Just accidentaly fragged a sun coral

Wolfgang8810 · 07-09-2008, 03:30 AM

There have been spinoid worms living right next to my sun coral colony and i have been trying to squish them but in a day or two they have rebuilt their shells even bigger. Well this time i was a little more aggressive with the shell and shoved my forceps down the tube. When i did this the forceps slipped and went into a hollow section of rock just under a single polyp of sun coral and pop the rock broke perfectly around the LPS. I was lucky very lucky. on another note i did get that pesky spinoid worm.

picture of the lone polyp it is already opening and i fragged it half an hour ago.(sorry for crappy picture my Nikon is in the shop)

and the parent colony

Congrats on the frag

Very pretty coral. It loks healthy too. I've never tried to keep one because I've read they need frequent feedings.
How often do you feed yours?

i have ben feeding them about2 times a week and they are doing great but i have a shallow tank and its easier to target feed opposed to a deeper 150tank. :-)
