How long did it take for your Sun Corals to come out? Do yours only feed when the lights out?

As soon as I feed the fish it comes out now, during the day. I think they get "braver" as time goes on.

Same here. I found you can train then to come out if you feed at a constant time each day. I just use a Turkey baster to feed either Cyclop-eeze or Brine shrimp

Mine comes out at 10pm and is open until 9:00am when the lights come on.. always.. never fails.. I usualy feed at 12:00am or 1:00am if I fall asleep and forget :eek: :biggrin:

mine will come out when it sences food in the tank. a little brine shrimp in the tank does the trick. Then I use a 2L coke bottle with the bottom cut off over it, then baster the food in the bottle. This lets the sun coral feed in peace. About 15-30 min in the cone of silence :lol:

Thanks for the reply's. I tried brine shrimp, it looked like they wanted to come out but they wouldn't. I ordered some Cyclop-eeze, so I'll try that when I get it.

I have never used cyclopez with my sun coral. I just waited till I saw a little polyps and then took the juices of the brine shrimp and squirted it over it. Usualy within mins the whole colony was out ( this was of course when I first got my sun coral). Now they just open on their own.

Is it important that you feed every polyp or is it a colony
