I am back, it was great to take some time off during holidays, I also did some remodeling in my house, so sorry for lack of updates. Now I finally have some time. Tank is still doing great, even so I did neglect feeding my corals for some time, unfortunately I lost two sun corals, totally my fault, everything else including fish seems happy. No new pictures yet, but I have new arrivals in my qt. , hopefully most of them will make it through.

Yeah, I have few sun corals
, my advice is to put them in decent but not direct flow, keep them off sand bed and feed them a lot. At least every other day some meaty foods like mysis, brine shrimp, anything you feed your fish. If you starve them, you will have big problem getting them to open again, so when you get them and you see their tentacles out, feed !!! First couple of weeks they need to restore their energy after being in transport or holding facility.

My favorite fish, always wanted one, now I have one. Bonus is she destroyed my aiptasia population
Do your sun corals like to open same time every day? Mine kinda do.Yeah, I have few sun corals

Thanks for the advice mark! I've been in this hobby for 3 1/2 years now and have been doing fairly well. I figured I would try my hand at these types of corals. Right now I'm sps dominate but I have a great mixture of all. Just actually picked up some softies tonight

Mine are almost always open or half open, I don't feed at specific times, basically when I am near the tank I pour some food in, few times a week I target feed all suns and dendros. As soon as they smell the food they open completely.

No problem, I wish you luck, they are not the most difficult corals, as long as their basic needs are met. But to me they are one of the most beautiful. I fell in love with those when I added a colony of dendro and sun coral to my SPS set up few years ago. Slowly I got more and more , until I gave up SPS and decided to go NPS exclusively.
This was my first attempt after converting from SPS, you can still see some zoas and other corals and way too much light.
