Hey Walter,  Sun Corals don't like to be on the sand.  It took me some time to get mine to open regularly.  I would keep with it.  It helps if you try to feed it shortly after you feed the main tank (fish)  keep it up for a while more consistently every day for a couple of weeks.  Then is will begin to recognize the fish feeding as feeding time.  Also remember most Sun corals have not had a meal since they began they journey to your tank  It's been awhile, they need to learn when food is available. 
 
Good Luck and keep us posted
