Important (sun coral question)

I am interested in getting some sun corals I have heard they are not hard to keep as long as you feed them ALOT! And if you stay on the water changes. And if you feed them in the day they will stay open during the day!! Any other suggestions! I want to keep them! Help!

Re: Important (sun coral question)

They need to be fed about 3 times a week. and I used a feeding cap which I will post a picture.. if you can get them to eat and extend( which can be tricky at first) they should do fine. a feeding cap is the bottom of a 2 liter pop bottle cut off and cut a whole in it to squirt food in with a turkey baster.Once you get them use to feeding they will open and extend on their own and become easier to feed....

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
