Orange sun coral...how much is to much??

[leslie25]

I have a sun coral and it says to spot feed. How muchg is to much food??? Everything says not to over feed but they do not tell you how much they should eat..... does each hole need a brine shrimp??? Someone please help!!!

 

[nycbob]

yes, u need to feed each polyp.

How often???

i've been lax and only feeding 1 or 2 times a week. if you want HUGE growth, feed daily.
i feed mine a mush of shrimp, clam, oyster, salmon, muscle, cyclopese, garlic, and algae.
on a side note, take your brine shrimp and throw it out. it is nutritionally worthless.

i would feed every polyp ALOT every other day.I get about a polyp every week or 2 from feeding like this.

some people will pull the suncoral out and place it in a container of tank water with the food in the water already and leave it there for 10-15 mins. Keeps you from having to try to spot feed and ensures each head gets an ample amount of food.

ive had my sun coral for about 2-3 weeks and i feed each polyp about 3 pellets a day, and have 2 new heads and the rest of the polyps are recovering from the abuse of the pet store.
