Love the Tubastraea! We have 2 of them! Great shots!

The first pic is Tubastrea, it will more than likely be happier in a shaded area of the tank or in a cave. They are non-photosynthetic and must be fed to survive, what's more is each polyp must be fed, those that do not feed will die. I've seen some Sun Corals that were kept out in the open in bright parts of the aquarium and still opened up, the vast majority of them I've seen happy were in shaded areas.

cheers Kevin... I am beginning to train it to feed at a sociable hour, but will move it out to a shadier spot.... it is beginning to feed when I squeeze some food over it.... but will be getting started on target feeding asap!

Gina- thanks! I have a friend with a good camera!
