Sun corals are not photosynthetic so keep them out from under direct light if you can. They can usually be counted on to open about 30 - 60 minutes after lights out and again about an hour before lights on. My Dendro while not a proper sun coral but similar has gone two weeks sometimes without opening up and then one day it's back better than ever and hungry!

I have watched after lights out and in the middle of the night still no even close to being fully opened. You dendros made me think of something that while not a dendros mine isn't the typical sun coral. Rather than having stubby/ flat type of skeleton my orange one is branching like a tree. The hard skeleton reaches about 2-3 inches above the rock it's on. The skeleton is about the size of a soft ball with about 4-5 limbs. Anyways just thought I would note the difference.....
