After many weeks, my sun coral is starting to open and feed well (bottom picture). It opens for lobster eggs, but its favourite feed appears to be mysis shrimp. I have been maticulously feeding each polyp of this little beauty, individually, using a small turkey baster. I mix some frozen feed with some of the tank water, then I drizzle some over the top of the coral. 10 mins later she starts to open and I then take another 10 + mins feeding her, ensuring all polyps get thier share. Well, all my hard work has finally been rewarded as she opens wanting food at about 8pm every night now.
Falicity is never far away when the coral gets fed!(top picture)
