I bought one of these (Duncanopsammia) from the frag swap and had a few questions about it,when I first put it in my tank it was open and looking good.I had it under vho lights and then it started looking bad and not opening so I moved it to my M.H. (400 watt)and saw no change.I will post some water parm. later just looking for some ideas.I've checked the internet and there seems to be some disparity in the lighting etc.

I believe they came from a 150w or 175 metal halide

They feed the same way. I think the duncans are much easier to feed because you don't have to wait for the polyps to open up. I think the Duncans were a great buy. Tubeastrea does not need any light and needs to be feed frozen foods like mysis, krill, or silversides to live. I'm sure there are other things it will eat. My suncoral expands but will not take food I'm having a hard time feeding it lately.

Not Quite Right
I picked up some suncoral from another reefer over the summer and it went through a spell where it would not eat as well. It seems to predict feeding when it gets fed regularly. Do Dendros do the same? I feed my sun coral fresh shrimp, mysis, and brineshrimp. It seems to do best when fed just before lights off and when it gets stimulated by teh fish eating. When the fish are full I target feed em.
