Well I really tried my hardest not to post this. I have read I think everything possible on trying to get suncorals to eat or open up for that matter.
I have tried in the tank with all water circulation off, small circ on. Did not work. I then tried a food bath in a seperate tupperware container after the lights go out. I feed mysis, blood worms, brine shrimp, and krill all mushed up. I have also tried oyster eggs and cy-clopeeze.
I never ever expose the coral to air. I use RO/DI water only and my parameters are spot on. I did have a heater issue for around 13 hours where it stuck on and water heated up to 87. That was taken care of as quickly as possible. No corals were hurt as I caught it in time.
Just 2 fish loss. Did a water change etc. But that is my story.
Anyone have any tips to getting this thing to open so I can feed it. I can only get it to bulge and barely show the ends of its yellow polyps.
Any advice is welcome. I will beat this stubborn ace coral. I bought because it would be a bit of challenge so I read. Being a recently retired 75th ranger I spend all my time at home. So i do not neglect my tank.
