Sun coral pic

[ChadTheSpike]

Posting to show off my very nice new sun coral colony. I have been looking for months for a colony that didnt look shriveled and 'stretched'. I was pleased and shocked to find this one that looks 'fat' when the polyps are closed. It has acclimated wonderfully and seems to fit nicely in my tank, I spot feed this and a hand full of other corals daily.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, I am still learning how to use the camera!

This one has been open about that much too (usually closed in the mid afternoon for a bit), mysis, shrimp, and scallops so far...

Wow, thats a really great picture!

WOW! I was going to get a dendro cause I hear they open more, but after seeing that pic I'm swaying on that decision.

Mine is open for most of the day (just closed for a few hours during the day), its pretty well fed and happy. I am very happy that I finally found a nice one locally.
