Black sun coral

[FuEl]

Hi guys..just wondering how many people keeping black sun coral out here..Do they take longer than the normal orange sun coral to open up? Been 2 days already and only opening up abit when i put cyclops in the water..think today every 2 hours i put some cyclops to tease it abit.

Oh yah..forgot to mention..got one small polyp of orange sun coral near the base which has opened up nicely already..but the black sun coral polyps like still very shy...

Oh well..guess I should wait longer....I'm very happy with the free gift..a 1cm purplish pink coral crab¬

A good piece.. nice...

Erm..had mine for months already..initially got whitespot..but survived..feeding on mysis, brine shrimp and cyclops.

It's actually one of the more whitespot prone gobies I have kept.

I noticed it had the habit of trying to nip at the thread like stingers of one of my acros..

[FuEl]

Erm..this thread is about black sun coral...not about the goby!!!

[reefer guy]

oh... ahhh... yeahhh... hahhh....

[FuEl]

Amazing how threads always evolve..

People look at the small picture rather than the bigger picture. lol

[jas_soh]

it shows that yellow colour is more eye-catching den black.

[reefer guy]

that's from a keen observer's point of view --> details count more than the whole scene..

[shiok]

cos if you ask the lfs they will surely tells you it's safe to buy so have to ask you guy lor....

[FuEl]

YesH...the goby is reef-safe. Let's move on!

[angry]

Mine takes every two weeks or so to open up:( heeeheee dun worry, they tend to stay dormant for awhile but will eventually open up. When it does open, i feed it with mysis:)

mine open up whenever I want it to. Its simple, I take a piece of shrimp meat(market prawns) from the freezer, use a tongs to sway the meat in front of it for a few minutes, then wait another 5 to 10 minutes, it will open up. Also notice that fresh shrimp meat don't work as well, best is those already kept in freezer for more than a week....

It works for my black, and orange sun corals...
