I just gotten my sun corals .. referenced Henry's helpful post on keeping suns.. and mine opened with 1/2 a day (only about 50% of the polyps .. still waiting for the rest to open <_< )

they begin to open with the smell of food .. kekekeke .. wonder if that's true :lol:

and surprise surprise .. mine opened up to 2 difference colors .. 1/2 of them yellow and 1/2 of them orange !! geez .. should have gotten the ones that include black !!!!!

u mean it didn't open even light off. sun coral normally open when lights off. try target feeding at nite. off the pump during feeding.

followed henry's recommendation on placement of sun corals .. 3rd day in the tank .. initial position no so much lighting ..

very interesting observation also .. sun will remain closed until I fed the fish .. think the smell of the food entices it to open up rather quickly !! :yeah:

and surprisingly .. the lights have nothing to do with it being open or close :P

4 day observation is .. it'll open when it wants to .. lights off it doesn't open .. lights on it doesn't open until feeding time .. then open for a long while ..

Initial position medium flow, low light position day 1 50% open
