Sun Coral for Trade
 

So, I've got this sun coral that I would really like to keep, but work is keeping me out of town too much lately, so I'm unable to spend enough time feeding it properly. Anyone out there have anything they'd be willing to trade? Let me know.

pm sent :cool:

how long??
 

How long have you had this sun coral? I'm thinking to get one. Are they hard to keep? What kind of lighting?

Cheers

from what i've read...they require partial shade but strong current.

They don't need light at all, but it has been doing fine directly under pc's. Definetly strong flow though. I've had it for a few months now.

Mine likes being partially shaded / partially lighted... it seems to like the light. And it does appreciate a stronger flow.

Should be target fed on a regular basis. Non-photosynthetic but needs mysis or some other food.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but when you feed your sun coral do you feed every single polyp? or do you just try and get food (flake,mysis,cyclopeeze) on the majority of polyps?

LFS
 

I saw one at the LFS and been back there a few times but never seen it open. Is it in bad health?

Unless trained, sun corals only open at night.

You also only need to feed a few of the polyps and not each individual polyp.
