Wait a month & I can split mine in half. I have about 60 polyps on mine.

Adams has one. ;0) $75, orange I think. I have three but not quite ready to split or get rid of. They are a lot of work. The"lander" works awesome for feeding them though.

What's the lander?

IMO, it is the most important tool in feeding Sun Corals. It is awesome!

here is a similar design I used:

How much for the 30 polyps or so, Xroads? I had one years ago and didn't know how to maintain it. My daughter has a beautiful one that she feeds cyclopeeze to through a Salifert syringe. She just waits until it opens up and squirts each polyp individually. It's one beautiful coral

Thanks for all replies.......

How big was the one at Adam's, Jtesdall?

I will be needing some stuff so I figured we would make a trade. My goal is to get tank set up by Christmas

I can't remember for sure, I would say 10 heads or so.

I just checked and you are a little over two hours away from me Do you ever come to the Des Moines area? Wish you lived closer!

JT Would like a bit bigger one that that, if possible

Thanks, though............

Their price is high as well.

Aquatic Environments has a very nice one. It is red/orange. Theirs are usually around $50. You can ship sun coral fairly easily. Most places in Iowa are next day ground through fedex and USPS.

No they don't, he-he!

 

[Covey]

In in club

I bombed them with rod's food, cyclop-eeze, and rotifers.

They opened up all ready. I am taking that as a good sign.

 

[Covey]

As of ten minutes ago the seem to be settling in good.

What is everyone favorite food for Sun Coral?

 

[Fishy1]

Thanks for the info Atticus.........will remember them in the future Nice looking one, Covey, I'm jealous!
