sun coral questions

[kehrer10]

just bought my first sun coral and have a couple questions. I need to know if each polyp is it's own organism? When I feed do I need to make sure I feed very polyp or do they share nutrients? I've been feeding in the morning and in the evening and I've been trying to feed every polyp, but of course not every feeding does every polyp eat. Plus I would like to know if I place the rock next to my reef will it start to spread up the rock like star polyps?

dont know how they grow but i feed all the head polyps on miny with a baster and are growing and poping new heads like crazy

I just bought one head, it is closed right now but is starting to puff up. Is this normal when you put them in a new tank? I only bought a single head because if it doesn't work then I won't be destroying a whole colony.

its normal it should open at night.
why you think it couldnt work ? its no big deal - just feed it once a day and it will be fine
