Also would my 260 watts of PC lighting be considered Moderate?

Anyone heh.

It's a sun coral which are not photosynthetic so lighting is not required. It does however need to be fed at night with meaty foods to survive. When feeding it is essential that every single polyp is fed....a royal pain in the rear but also very beautifull.

Any idea how often?

 

[stuckinfla]

Some feed every other day, others every 3 or so days.

THe only problem that i've had in feeding these guys is that my mandarin or the shrimps steal the food as the polyp takes it in. I simply feed until they are full and then the coral can eat. They are awesome little things. or big
