netpez March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 (edited) Looks awesome. Whats your secret with that amazing sun coral colony??? Every 2-3 days I feed krill to my Aussie Elegance. When I do, I also tear up shrimp into chunks and feed each individual sun polyp. I always have to save 2 shrimp heads for my skunk cleaner shrimp beforehand, otherwise they start jumping on my arm and poking me till I give them some... LOL If you take a look further up when we originally got it and what we have now (maybe half a year later?) It has developed a lot more polyps.

Huly March 20, 2013 Author Share March 20, 2013 Sun Coral- shady area (cave) and feed each individual polyp small pieces of krill 2-3 times a week with tweezers. First before krill pez spot feeds each coral with oyster feast and Phytoplankton 2.0 mixed. With food in water sun coral opens fully then feeds krill. Aussie gets large krill each time too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 A few trial and error that we learned our lesson on but so far so good on coral. You guys also seem really diligent about spot feeding, I'm sure that's helping a lot. I have just started spot feeding with Reef Roids, and that's already a bit of a pita. That Sun Coral colony is really popping, as mentioned above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Pez spot feeds every coral at least twice a week a mix of Oyster Eggs and Zooplankton 2.0 (turns off pumps for this) The big boys get the krill (sun coral, AE, and a few others) I am thinking about adding Cycopleze (sp) as I heard a lot of corals love it!
