sun coral

[hillbillyreefer]

I've read about recession happening on a couple other sites. Anyone who has brought it back says that heavy feeding worked. It takes some time but as long as they'll eat they can be saved. Mine will eat anything that drifts past them or is place on them. I feed with airline on the end of a syringe. I suck mysis into the airline and feed each polyp individually, keeps the shrimp, crabs and bristle worms from getting them. This way you know each polyp has eaten. HTH.

Good Luck

yah well i do the same i feed it every 2 days and i feed it mysis or brine shrimp with a little bit of phyto plankton for the food to soak in first but the whole 2 liter bottle trick never worked for me because of how it is placed on the rock it cant go all the way around it and i have to feed it each polyp at a time. but o well it looks fantastic

I feed mine a mix of cyclopeeze (either FD or frozen), spirulina powder & Reefroids with 3 drops of Selcon. This is what I feed to my other corals & I usually do a couple of squirts daily into the tank with at least 1/2 squirt directed at the corner with my suncorals. Seems to work so far.

What worked for me is taking the coral out and placing it in a small plastic container with water from your setup. Wash the mysis cube and throw it in. Swirl the water so it creates a vortex around the sun coral and the mysis will go to the middle. Once the sun coral opens up swirl a few more times and all the heads will be fed.

Its kinda time consuming but it works
