New Corals today

[HartfordWhalers]

I just bought 3 heads of frogspawn and 4 heads of sun coral. I put the frogspawn close to the ground on a rock with enough flow and the suncoral is under a cave. What do you feed them, do you need alot of flow, Anything would be usful because i am still reading about them. Help with anything!

Frogspawn will do best in low-moderate flow and doesn't really need feeding. They will ocassionally take brine or krill.

Sun polyps need sufficient flow to clean out between the polyps. Sun polyps should be fed 2-3x weekly, anything meaty (brine, mysis, zooplankton, etc.). If they are orange/yellow you'll need to be sure and feed each polyp. If it's the black sun coral just be sure to feed a few of them, it will nourish the colony. Eventually they will adapt to a feeding schedule so you don't have midnight feedings.
