Sun Coral question

Hi all,
what and how often do you who have them feed them?
I've had a small yellow frag (4-5 heads) for about a week now that I'm trying to train to open during the day. It pops out at feeding time, but doesn't extend fully. At night it does extend, but I generally don't feed after lights out.
Right now I'm target feeding mysys and formula I twice a week when it opens even a little. Trouble with feeding during the day is all the other critters crawl all over the coral, which sorta scares it...
By the same token, it's only been in the tank 6-7 days, so it's not fully acclimated yet - i.e. it opens up a little more and for a little longer w/ each passing day.
Suggestions?

you should check out the threads in the nonphotosynthetic threads
I try to feed mine everyday, if not then every other day.
If you have a problem with fish thieves stealing food from the sun coral, then you need to put something over it to allow it to eat - i.e. cut off the top of a 2 liter bottle (create a dome for your coral)
There's tons of helpful info in the other threads
Good luck!

Cool - thanks for the info.
It's opening up more and more, and I'm varying it's diet, which is seems happy about.
So far so good.
