Sun Coral Feeding

[enseng]

Hi, need help on sun coral feeding...i target feed them with henry food and copepod...

while they are enjoying the foods, my juvenile emperor angel and purple tang are always aiming at their food and nick at them..

they are all close up now...

Any suggestion to feed it? Or shouldn't I keep it with the emperor angel and PT?

Suspect my super sun coral dead because of this also ..

[pokmingsheng]

cut out the top part of a 1.5L coke bottle,

use that to cover the supersun,

feed thru the mouth of the bottle..

the fishes wont be able to get to the food then...

not sure if u can picture that...

[rocker]

can remove them out from tank

and place in a container and

feed them?

yup tat is another idea..but I m thinking to build a sun garden so might be a bit troublesome to take each of them out and feed haha

Flood your tank with more food.

Feed your fishes till they are happy then feed your suns.

Try not to flood with Henry's or you can see your nitrates shooting up.

I know some reefers practice this method as well... What they did were place the SunCoral in small bucket with a small pump to ensure continue flow helping food reach to sun coral.. but it can be very tiring to do so in long run..... also not healthy to move coral in & out.. cause most LPS r more susceptible to shock/drop event.. we can't guaranty always perfectly handling on them....

Cheers and Happy Reefing...
