    My new sun coral. First pic is three minutes after putting in tank. Next is an hour and a half later, they were just fed, lights out (used flash). I need some vibrant color in my tank. I have to put a basket over coral so each polyp will get food and the critters in tank can't steal it away!!

    unfortunately no im not . i could be wrong, but thats pretty much what i heard. i know theyre kept in the "expensive' tank. so if im wrong, theyre still 50 for it.

    I just picked up some last week . . . got them for the whopping price of free. I went to a friends house to grab a few frags and he gives me this 4" x 3" rock half covered with these things . he loved the colors, but couldn't stand the target feedings and didn't have any good overhangs for them to sit under.

    what are you feeding with? I have been using some frozen mashed krill (half cube per feeding) with a turkey baster and it seems to be working out well.
