Leave pieces of mysis shrimp in each of its polyps and in a matter of minutes it will start eating it. I usually turn off my pumps and everything so the shrimp doesnt get blown by the current, when i put it on the polyps, the mouth comes out and starts eating.

Well, that sure is a tease!!!
Looks really nice, gotta get a full pic for us!
I gotta get a new pic of mine, my camera is so lame though. I need NM to come and take a pic for me after it eats to do some justice to this coral.

P.s.- NM, if you want to move this to the corals section feel free. W ehave kinda gotten off topic but i think wed all like to keep talking about what we do with our suns. Its pretty cool to see so many REALLY nice specimens of a hard to keep coral and talk to their owners.

When its like that, put the cup over it and shoot in a little cyclopeeze soaked in a few drops selcon or zoecon mixed in a little tank water. It should open all the way after a few minutes then.

They are just vitamin/fatty acid supplements. Your lfs should have one or both, almost definitely zoecon. Mine seems to really respond to them.

The exotic i was talking about is in Florida.
Yeah, mine has done that, but now im real careful and slow when i put it over the sun. Now i think he actually knows foods coming and opens up. Mine seems pretty well trained, Starts to open about 6:30 and i start feeding around 7:00.

I'm hoping these pics come over, had problems before, but here's my sun coral, about 1 month in my 125 now, he's doing great. In this shot he'd been here a week, still happy and hungry

Also, added a picture of my bat and my newest coral, if you can identify it that would be great. Forgot the name and need to research it tonight.
These are my first shots and still don't know how to use macro setting so bear with me...
