I love Sun Corals...but man.... they seem like a bit of work.
How are you gonna feed it?

Make sure to feed each polyp fairly often. They are not easy to keep unless you dedicate time to feeding them. Good looking specimen.

Thanks Everyone, I have several different types of frozen foods and I use a Turkey Baster to feed each polyp. It is night right now and all the polyps are fully out, WOW is all I can Say. Now do these guys grow and multiply in the tank under the right conditions?

I really wanted a smaller piece to start off with (less polyps) but this is all that they had.

Thanks everyone.

You're most likely to see polyps come out at night, unless they sense food. You can sort of train them to come out during the day by rubberbanding a piece of shrimp or other raw seafood nearby everyday until the polyps start to come out during the day.
