because the coral doesnt come out for food feeding it by hand is impossible , hence the tupper ware method.

take a tupperware container fill with salt water , place your suncoral in it and pollute the water with smelly foods leave the suncorals in there for a long time .when im acclimating suncorals that dont open in the morning i take the suncorals and put them in a container and float them in my sump when i get off work suncorals go back in the tank , by that time they are puffy.they take cold waters well. depending on how food deprived the coral is plays a part in how long the acclimation process is.

suncorals use energy to open for food they get that energy back from the food , no food no energy , so if they arnt guaranteed a meal they wont come out,eventually they shut down, its alot of consistent work to bring them back.

youll need to do this for a week possibly longer untill it comes out fully or stays out in whcih case you switch to meaty foods.

if your suncoral is alive this will work.


welcome to the world of nps corals
