    I will give you a hint. Texas.
    So I have had my sun polyps for a month now. They seem to be doing well. They eat when I feed them even seem to be growing a little, But they only are open when I feed the take around 9 pm. How can I get them to stay open more often so I can better enjoy them?

    I am feeding them rods food once a day currantly and I do a pretty good job feeding each head.

    I did hear they dont really care for lighting. Could that be stopping them?
