I did a search on here and found alot of info...
Also, today I went to our local club meeting and won Entice b Seachem and thought what the heack... I know risky,,,, I put some in the tank and then feed and my fish went nuts but so did all my suns! They all opened up wider than they have before and ate like crazy! I target feed them normally and sometimes take them out of the tank to feed. Best if you keep them in the tank.... Now that I know how that they react to Entice I will be using that reguraly!
Good luck and do a search.....

Yes we've seen mini rings and still do at times. No funky feeding here - unless you consider cyclopeez funky. I actually feed 2x/day - flake in the morning and then frozen mixture which could include any of the following: mysis, krill, brine, and homemade mixture of raw shrimp, scallop, talapia, garlic, and I think that's all that is in this batch, and then cyclopeez about 3x/week.

If you feed it the same time every day, it should get "trained" to open. I have always had success getting mine to open by just dropping a few drops of zoecon in the tank. About 5 minutes later, it is open enough to feed.
I would feed every day for a while then step back to every other or every 3rd day. I also use a homemade mix much like Reet15's and would highly recommend making a meaty mix tofeed it.

My Orange hasn't opened up in about a week ( from what I've seen) as soon as my lights go off...BLAM!! the black and yellow suncoral opens up. I paid $42 for my yellow which has over 50+ polyps, My black has about 60+ polyps for $42 and orange has 20+ and paid $40. Still looking for RED!!

I paid $45 for that guy which I wasn't complaining too much about. That rock has three separate colonies on it and wasn't doing superbly well but I thought it was beautiful. It opened up like that the second I got it home.
Pleco, I've had mine for about a month now and with regular feedings, it's been growing and doing well. I fed it every night about 2-3 cubes of Mysis over the period of an hour for roughly about two weeks and it really perked up. From what I've read, usually by the time that sun corals get to your home, they are practically on the verge of being starved to death due to how much you need to feed them.
Now I feed about every two days with the same amount of Mysis. Generally, I feed one cube and about 15 minutes later they have digested their food and are still looking hungry.
People may say that they are difficult to keep due to their feeding requirements, but it's not that bad considering you have to feed your fish at some point as well.
