May as well pop mine up here:

Black Sun Polyps

I just got this colony a few days ago. It's just starting to open up and eat well.

My plan (if it will work) is to glue the 2 pretty much together in my new tank and hopefully they will grow together. Anyone know if that will work?

Hi bulldogmx,

I believe that your tubastrea is a T. coccinea

I did never try before, but if you'll do it, show us the results

Amazing sun coral; darwin

congratulations!

what do you feed?

 

[BulldogMx]

Thanks again Colt.

I make a mix of Reef Roids, Cyclops Eeze, Marine Snow and Feeder Feast (radiant reef) from calpetfoods.

Thanks again Colt.

I make a mix of Reef Roids, Cyclops Eeze, Marine Snow and Feeder Feast (radiant reef) from calpetfoods.

the mix of mysis, rotiferos and artemia with everything previous, will be a better food.

but, also on fresh natural food (seafood) better results can meet.

In fact, the Feeder Feast contains Rotifers, Copepods, Artemia Nauplii, Daphnia, Oyster eggs, Spirulina, etc.

Well I was going to start a new thread, but since I saw this thread will all you experts here... I figured I'd ask here.

Do any of you know why my sun coral has yellow stringy stuff coming off the body of it? It eats really well and has been doing very well for me. I was wondering if this is just its way of expelling waste or if it was possibly trying to spawn?

tcmfish, there are two forms in which new colonies of tubastreas do and one of them is for spawning, other one is on the one on that you comment.

new calice

Sorry I didn't really understand which you were saying it is doing? Are you saying those are just new buds forming? Thanks for the quick reply!
