how to make my sun coral open???

[jacobus]

lots of feeding ! haha ..

for me is good flow of water and try to place it under shade.. then it will open up nicely. however if it not opening due to stress just give it sometime to get use first

[SWQUECK]

but do light t5 light affect them, tough to hide them under shade, wat do u feed them

[Dazza]

actually just put it in gd flow... just squirk some mysis juices ard it ... once it opens u can start feeding... dont need to bother abt lights, they r indifferent to it

Sun corals are filter feeder. So a good water flow is essential. You can buy liquid coral food and dose your tank maybe once a week. Off your skimmer for a few hours after dosing, if not, the food will get skimmed out instead. They dun like strong light too... kinda a contradicting for its name..

sun coral takes meaty food , not filter feed...
