Sun Coral?
 

is this a sun coral? It doesn't look like any of the pics I've seen.....It's hard and the skeleton does not stick up all that much.....Kind of a bad pic....

its a sun coral. its just in really rough shape. try feeding it if it will eat it may be alright.

hmmm....I gave it a spray of live phyto but got minimal response, seems one or two heads may be coming out, turned out the lights and am gonna watch for some activity and try and feed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

mine eat whether the lights are on or off. phyto isnt gonna do it they like meat. mine devour mysis like crazy. just put it on top of the healthyiest looking heads until some open up

I got no mysis....will cubed brine work?

should be alright to get them eating but theres really nothing to brine.

feed 'em with a "one two punch". When the lights go out (or at the dusk part if your lights have a dusk/dawn effect) target feed them once with frozen mysis. About 2 hours later go back and the polyps should be open and sticky and do the "real" feeding again with mysis.

They're non-photosynthetic so you'll have to feed them a good food such as frozen mysis.

I also feed mine with frozen ocean plankton. Has some different nutients than mysis. Good idea to feed with both food types. If the heads are connected by tissue, then even if only one or two heads extend the tentacles to feed, they should provide enough nutrition to the weaker heads for them to recover over time.

This is one tough coral to keep.

mine eat just about anything i give them mysis, brine, plankton, choped krill even flake and pellets they open up as soon as they smell food hit the water for the fish...lol MAN they can eat alot...lol:wink:

They like moderate flow and dark areas right? So I should place him in a cave on the bottom of the tank?
