Cesar Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Well I gotta say that after some nice TLC the suncorals are coming out pretty nice. Link to comment
Sushi Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 good to hear that cesar they're one of my favorite corals Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 Here is somewhat of an improvement after tagert feeding. It has worked great. http://www.nano-reef.com/gallery/showphoto...&cat=501&page=1 Link to comment
Sushi Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 great! they're looking nice and fat. they should start to show new heads after a couple weeks to months of being on a healthy diet. keep it up Link to comment
holyherbiness Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I kind of regret receiving this coral. it's so much fracking work to feed each of the 30+ polyps of my frag..especially when they consume like 4 shrimp each polyp easily. plus it opens at night! ah! Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 I noticed that also. They only open up at night, but for some reason it's starting to open up more during the day. Link to comment
Sushi Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 haha, you lazy bums! this is a perfect example of "Equivalent Trade" ... if you devote the proper time into caring for this coral, it will reward you with one of the most beautiful corals you have in the tank. if you don't feed it, it'll just hide all day and look like orange stubbles if u can't keep up with the feedings, and u "regret" it, just get rid of it! and let someone else who can take care of it do it for you.

Cesar Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 Well im feeding mine every other day so im taking my time with them. They look cool. Link to comment
Sushi Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 tsk tsk, it's holy then Link to comment
holyherbiness Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I'm feeding mine every night, and theyre greedy as heck the big polyps snatch up the food and leave nothing for the little ones so I have to kind of move the big polyps aside and inject some shrimp for the little guys hahah and then wait as I fend off the oncoming nassarius and especially emerald crab!! plus, they grow slowly :| Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 You know what I noticed with mine is that it seems to be hard to feed him big chunks. When I press on the medecine droper a big chunk of Brine gets stuck and I end up sometimes blasting food out, Hahaha. It comes out so hard that a fish gets a hold of it. It's a bit hard to feed each single polyp, but I have to. I want that think to come out like the ones that I have seen on other threads. Link to comment
holyherbiness Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Lol I've got mine almost at that point, but I'm feeding it like once every three days serves those guys right for not eating all the food and letting some float away I don't try to feed each individual polyp anymore. It's survival of the fittest in the wild, so why should it be any different in my aquarium? If this sun coral wants to live in my aquarium, it had better live according to my rules or it dies! ha just kidding. But I'm too lazy to really care for it that much. Especially since it shuts up during the day. Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hahaha. That's funny dude. I just finished feeding right now and the things are ridiculously out. It looks awsome. Link to comment
ebin Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Here is how I feed mine it really has to be the easiest way and takes no effory at all with excellent results. http://www.dfwmas.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ik...t=ST;f=2;t=6129 Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 Wow, never seen that. I was thinking of something like that but the way I was thinking was more like removing the sun coral from the tank and place him in a plate where it had the brine. But I was told that it could add some stress to the coral, and I guess it makes scence. But that method looks kinda...different. Haha. Link to comment
ebin Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Sun coral gets no stress fed well with no competetion of fish stealing food and you don't have to worry about nothing Link to comment
holyherbiness Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 interesting alas, i'm quite used to feeding the sun now. it opens up very fully, so feeding the polyps is a breeze, just drop the shrimp in and go. Link to comment
Cesar Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Yeah same here it's becoming a breeze. Im pretty used to it now. I just hope that Im feeding them enough. Every other day. Link to comment
Cesar Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 They can be a PITA to feed, but they sure as nice looking. Still going on. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Cesar those are very very NICE!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
MiniReefin Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 that looks biotchin!! i think i got mine the day after you, yours looks good!! not like mine dont sorry aint got no pics now? Link to comment
Cesar Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 I saw some that Uchiha sent me as an example of how they get and man that made me feed these suckers the most I can. It's just that whenever the dropper hits the tenticles they hide so I have to wait minutes before they can open up again and feed the next little sun. Dude. But you guys are right these things are cool looking. Not cause they are mine, hahaha. But because they are cool corals. Link to comment
