Looking for some Sun Coral

[818]

Hey everyone!

Anyone know where I can get a nice piece of Sun coral?

Or does anyone frag/sell these here locally?

save your cash and get a nice colony of dendrophyillia. even a frag of dendro would be sweet. one with 2-3 heads on it.

do these require 2-3 times per day feeding?

I just got a colony myself. You only need to feed em about 2-3 times a week but they do require direct hand-feeding. You can be sloppy about the frequency, though. I've heard of people feeding once a week. Place it somewhere accessable. "They" say to keep it out of the light to prevent algae growth on it but I never had that problem.
Also, make sure you dont have shrimp or other critters who would be likely to pick the food from the coral's mouths.
They are known to open at night but you can readjust them to a day schedule. I had one that would open when it sensed a change in the water (including putting my hands in the tank).

btw; $10. is a killer price! Especially if its as big as the one in the pic.

feeding that much?

feeding that much?

do u have to feed EVERY head? or just a couple?

 

[rscott76]

if the tissue is connected they should be able to share nutrients but if it hasnt been fed right and tissue disconnected then you have to feed each individual head. its kind of like feeding conjoined/separated twins =)
