Coral advise

[Tomjay]

I had about two weeks and the person I got it from said he didn’t know what it was...I didn’t think it was a sun coral from the ones I have seen healthy and from pictures....what can I do to bring it back?

when the polyps come out, more than likely at night or when you feed you fish mysis, the tentacles will come and target feed some mysis shrimp

I don't think its a dendro if the polyps only come out at night..... Fishytime is right... Sun Coral. And yes it needs to be spot fed.

Pssst!! A Dendro is a type of sun coral!

But if it was a dendro wouldnt the polyps come out during the day because they are partially photosynthetic, as well as meat eaters?
