Sun Coral?

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

[tgoeujon]

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

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

Don't have but have been looking into them.

paraphasing Borneman, " strong current, need to keep area free fr uneaten food and debris, light doesn't harm them".

Since they need to be fed, suggest placing where you can easily feed.

I have mine right under my lights. Doesn't seem to bother them. I feed a mix of Brine and Michika's frozen. I melt the food in a shot glass of tank water then with a turkey baster, spray the food over the sun corals. The food blown around where the fish eat it. I wait about half an hour until all the polyps come out and then try to feed each head. There are some that I miss, but they are connected with flesh. I typically feed them every second day.
