Orange Sun Coral, Tubastrea faulkneri

[pells61]

Hello all, my name is Anthony and iv have been an aquarist for many years now. I have had my 25 gl. salt tank for 10 months now and have recently acquired a very healthy specimen of Tubastrea faulkneri. It has been doing very well for the past three weeks but because of it’s nearly upside down perch in a cave of mine it makes it very hard to get food to all the polyps. I would say that I get about half of them in each sitting, so out of 25 polyps I get about 10 maybe 15 and this is done every other day. I also dose phytoplankton and formula one every other day. So my question is am i feeding enough and also are all the polyps in the colony getting enough nutrition even though they are not all ingesting food??

every single polyp needs fed individually. you can move them though!! heres a good link. I just got a sun coral lately too
