New Sun Coral

nice! i love it! arg, lol, im still confused over how to keep one, there not photosynthetic, but how much light do they still need?

0 light needed. They are not a photosynthetic coral. Most of the time they'll be closed during the day. Difficult coral to care for because they need muliple daily feedings to survive.

They dont need any light ..lol. Thus labled non-photosynthetic. It can be kept in pitch black conditions or highly lit areas, it just depends on you. Most people say that you should leave it out of the light because of algae but i've never had a problem with it.

DARN! lol, only becuase i love them, they ar BEAUTIFUL corals, and i only have the 28w over my 10g as of now, i will eventually upgrade, but yeah. i may eventually take them on though, wene i reasearch up a bit more

I've been doing the "Pop Bottle" feeding method. Seems to work well. The polyps have been closed when the light is on, but I've heard you can "train" them to open during the day by timely feedings.

sweet suns how many times do you feed??

Natrate, definately agree with you. mine usually open at around 11PM for their daily feeding. thats the time i've been feeding them since i got them. i don't think they are that difficult to maintain as many people say.

All normal during cycling.

So what is the best thing to feed them? And do you have to wait till they open?
