Candy Cane Coral Caulastrea Furcata

I was thinking of purchasing a Candy Cane Coral
(Caulastrea furcata), but have one question. When feeding it, do you have to feed all the polyps or just one? I'm guessing all, right
Thanks

you have to feed candy cane corals??

 

[jwhiteuwc]

From what I've read, YES!

I've had mine for nearly two years and have never directly fed it. It is always open and "happy".
If I could figure out how to get pictures to post, I'd show everyone.

hmm... I guess you have to feed it after lights out then?

My answer was intended to imply that candy canes are not difficult to keep. Unlike corals that must be directly fed, candy canes in my tank have thrived without direct feeding.
Rather, good light and a nice, gentle current seem to do wonders for them.
