the sunny contradiction

[GrimReefer]

if there's tissue between the polyps, why wouldn't they be able to share nutrients? i feed my sun corals 2-3 times a week, and simply blast brine shrimp towards them and let the fish mop up the rest. i make no effort to make sure each polyp is fed. they 'learn' what time of the day you feed them, and will open up accordingly. it's easiest to use your timed lights as a cue. gently blow brine shrimp juice over the coral when your lights go off and it should begin opening in a few nights. possibly longer, but be persistent.

Just my 2 dollars but when I had a suncoral in my 24g nano it was impossible to feed it without polluting the tank because it had no skimming also the amount of water. What I used to do was to get a yogurt cont put the coral in it with 3/4 salt water in it drop a piece of mysis and come back in 10 mins the mysis had dissolved and all polyps were open then I would use a turkey baster and swoosh the container every 5 mins until the food was gone this was excellent and I was feeding 2 cubes every week and they were fine noticed that they opened whenevr the sand sifting goby would stir sand and the little particles flew every in the tank aswell but from my experience with these they dont need to eat on a everyday basis I was feeding mine once a week but lots everyone of the polyps were fat after I was done.

I have suns that have spawned? for want of a better word. You can mix cyclopes with tank water& squirt it at them. the will start opening. if you do that in the morning you can train them to open during the day.
