Sun coral feeding?

[Ninja120]

I have had it a week now. So far no it has not fed. It is in a cave in my tank so no light is hitting it. I turn off the pumps to feed usualy 30min - 1 hr after lights out. I used tank water and soaked it in the mixed seafood and spray the juice at it so I can try and entice. Waited about 20 minutes no response so i tried using the turkey baster and getting some food in it. Then I spray the food so it lands on top of the suncoral and let it sit there. Still response even when the food is sitting right on its mouth.

they need to be in heavy flow also you should not put the "juice" from the frozen food into the tank, try to thaw the food dump the juice and refill with tank water. try moving it around to an area with better flow and see if it dosn't open up. lighting dosn't matter as this coral dosn't have zooanthelle the only concern with high lighting is algae growth in between the polyps. this was one of my first corals and i have seen good growth from feeding it mysis using a turkey baster and a feeding hat.

Ok sorry for the late responses. Thank you for all you help but I dont think it will make it. Maybe I got a bad speciman I hope that is the case it make me feel a little better. I am going to keep trying but more than 1/2 the skeleton is exposed and the mouths are not opening still. I just moved it to a place with higher flow, I did a big water change to see if that helps and still nothing. Been trying to still entice it but no luck. If the sun polyps all die will it harm the tank? Causes any spikes or toxins released?
