I find mine to be very slow eaters as well.  What I normally do is I isolate the sun coral by placing it in a clear container and hang it in the inside of the tank (just below the water surface).  Then I can feed it without having to worry about  food being picked from them.  I usually feed them twice a week (Wed,Sat) and they seem to be happy.   Another method my friend uses is  he runs a length of clear tube (from the surface to the coral) and just squirt the food inside the tube.   HTH
