Candy Cane I was told will not do well under my lights.
I really don't want to come home with just blue shrooms but its looking that way.
Candy Cane is yet another coral that I had grow nicely under PC. Spot feed them a few times a week and you will be fine.
SPS, Clams and Anemones are the only things that need strong lighting IMO.

They do have these at this store.
I would have the perfect place for them right smack in the center of my tank where the GSP are that can be moved.
Feeding what is their demand??
If food falls on them is that good enough or do you have to actually target each and every polyp??
Would their color be nice under my type of lighting??
Thinking......

Feed them a meaty food like mysis or homemade food. Once or twice a week. I would spot feed only because I feel that the food is not polluting the tank. You do not need to feed each head like a sun coral. In fact you don't have to feed them at all but they will grow faster and look happier with food.

My only issue with the sun polyps is that when we go away on holidays every year and the kids look after my tank all the time with a great job done i know they will not feed each polyp.
So for the suns can you drop in a mixture of fozen foods jut above them and they will be fine??
Jerry says Candy Canes
Spanko what do you say??
What about color under my lights, would those sun polyps be colorful??

Sun coral does not need light.

Sun corals can sometimes go a month without being fed. This is usually when they are introduced to a new tank. I have gone 1 week without them being fed. I try to feed them every other night and I will admit that I might not be getting each mouth fed. My thought process is though that if I feed my fish and other corals every other night and spot feed my sun corals every other night that each mouth will get something eventually.
I would not tell the people watching your tank to feed each mouth. That could lead to overfeeding if the person is not careful. I would just instruct to spot feed around the sun coral.

This sun coral has been passed around quite a bit. Mr. X originally had it and I just got it back from Subielover. It is a shame that it has been passed around because once they get comfortable they are very pretty. This pic was taken a week after I got it back. Much fuller now that I have had it for a month.
