Hi guys, I recently purchased a sun coral from my LFS about a month ago and its doing great. Now however, I'm going on our family vacation. we leave on the 10th and won't be back until the 19th. Is this too long for my sun coral to go with out food?? also, my girlfriend is coming to the house to...

Sharon and I recently purchased a bright orange sun coral at a reef show from a nice couple from Cleveland. It is a really awesome piece!! I have done my research on it and know that it needs low light and water flow plus it has to be regularly fed to survive. I have has been over two weeks...

I'm going on a work trip for 10 to 14 days. It will be hard enough to get my wife to feed my fish, change my filter socks, and empty the skimmer while taking care of three kids ages 4 and under. I already know a water change is out of the question. I normally direct feed my sun coral every 3...

First time posting, but I have been following RT for about a year. Big help getting into reefs or in my case FOWLR which I started with. So I got my first coral a few weeks ago a GSP from my LFS. Tbh I was hoping my clowns would host it cause Im deathly afraid of putting an anemone in my tank...

Hi there! My tank is looking healthier and I have had a lot of recent growth. The reef is two years old. It's a 50 gallon. It has a skimmer, rodi unit, I use instant ocean I think for salt. I got a new t5 daylight bulb, 12,000k. Looks good just thought I would share:)

I regrettably purchased an orange sun coral about a month or so ago, it had nice color but was retracted due to the lights, well, I have had it all this time and it has not come out. I attempt to entice it with brine and Cyclops, but nothing. It has begun to slowly die off. It has nice color...

Hi, I am new to here and reef tanks. I bought some Sun Coral and they aren't feeding. The first day I had them, they came out and fed. after that though, which is now a few days later. I can't get them to come out. I had them in a bright part of the tank, and moved them to a shadier spot. I...

ok i bought this coral by mistake when i placed an order from reefs2go and it was in my basket and i forgot to remove it, now its here in my tank , when i got it about 4 days ago it was nasty, and skeletal and looked like it was going to die honestly, so skinny and hungry, i was going to give it...

i brought my first frag of coral today. Dealer calls it a sun coral and tells me it has to be fed every couple of days. My question is sun coral the correct name and if it is what is the scientific name for them?

quick question, I have a sun coral with about 40 heads and was looking for a peaceful coral to put next to it. I have read that the dendros are peaceful and require the same general care. Will these corals harm each other if place next to one another in a LPS only tank? Side note, my sun...

I've had 4 sun corals for about 3 months (all attached to the same rock), the only time they come out is in the daytime (mostly during feeding time), and i have a 75 gal Tank that has been running for 2 years

Hey guys, So I picked up some sun corals from the store. When I picked them up they were not opened but, the owner insured me that they open up at night for feeding. ( I know its never a good idea to pick up coral that isnt perfect at the store)However, I know have the sun coral in my tank. Its...

I'm thinking of adding to my corals and livestock and I saw some things I really like. I love the look of sun coral and have read quite a bit about it, namely that you definitely got to feed them as they're not photosynthetic feeders. I also like the ricordea, lots of nice colors. I am also...

I have a sun coral that I am wanting to frag. The only problem is that it is growing on a old oyster shell. So my question is should I just break the shell, and if I do will it hurt the coral. If it will i will not do it just wondering if anyone has any experience with this. The Coral is...

Hello. I have my sun coral sitting on the side of a rock in my 30 galons tank. Generally, the coral is fine, but I know it is quite delicate thing and I worry if it gets too much light. Can someone comment please ? Thanks !

I have moved my sun coral around to different points of my tank and had it for about three weeks with only a little bit of the polyps coming out. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and don't really know what I am doing when it comes to posting. I recently purchased a sun coral or as they called it an orange branching torret about a week ago at a LFS. I am concerned because I know this coral needs daily feeding but it won't open up...
