saltyFISHscales Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I've had this sun polyp for about a month and the polyps have yet to come out... Anyone have any ideas on this? At the bottom of my tank under 150 MH HQI. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Have you been constantly feeding them? Link to comment
saltyFISHscales Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Not hand feeding them like i do with my RBTA or my candy corals, but i feed with DT"s and Zooplex. Should i be hand feeding? If so, what would you suggest? Link to comment
Acoustic Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 You have to take some airline tubing and blow brine shrimp directly on to the coral. It will open. Then keep on blowing until all the polyps have food and are closed up. I had one for awhile. This coral is a pain in the donkey. Have fun. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 nevermind the sunpolyp, check out the gsp. that's some sweet growth there Link to comment
Tempest Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 As you probably know they usually only open at night. Wait about 20 minutes after the lights are off and then spray a few/little mysis shrimp or plankton directly on the coral. After a few minutes the coral should open up having detected that there is food nearby. Then feed each polyp. I usually feed mine mysis shrimp about 4x/wk by using a 3mm syringe. Link to comment
