I have recently purchased some sun polyps and I would like to know how to keep it alive. sorry about the quality of the picture (its from my cellphone)

The easiest way is to feed them directly mysis shrimp daily and do not keep them under direct, intense lighting. Take a half a cup of aquarium water, 2 cubes of mysis (in you have Fauna Marin UltraMinS add 2-3 drops), then let the cubes defrost. Once they have defrosted the mysis can be fed using a turkey baster. Turn off the pumps in the aquarium or put them on feed mode. If that option is not available to you, you can use 2 liter soda bottle, cut the top and make a dome over the colony to feed it. Another method is using a sterilized ceramic pot and doing the same. If the colony has does not have good polyp extension then the initial feeding of the colony will require more work.
