Hello Ashley84,
I have 3 large colonies (45-60) heads on each and I just fregged one into three. I have a 10 Gallon nano and have had the first colony for about 6 months and it is doing great.
Here is a link.

I feed everyother day, Mysis, brine, photoplankton, and sometimes table shrimp, cut up. I turn off my filter(pump) and just let my in tank pump circulate the water and food. I use a syringe(10 ml) and feed about 10-15 mls of food. The only problem I have is that I need to change my filter media, much more ofter to keep the water clean, and the paramaters in check. If you have any other questions on the sun Coral, send me a PM. Also, if you want more info on how to frag these amazing corals, with very limited loss, only 1-2 heads, please PM. I hope to put up my method in the next few days.

Put it somewhere were you can get to it and feed it easily. If it's difficult to reach or you need all sorts of apparatuses to feed it, odds are you will become non-compliant in time. It gets old unless it's easy.

wow. I only have two PC total output is 36 watts. One is at the bottom of the tank, the second large one is about 4 inches from the bottom and the other one is bedie it, and the new frag is on the underside of the tableledge(trying to see if they do better upside down or not.) Thanks, I'm really lucky with all of my suns. The best thing to do is to try to feed as often as possible.(everyday) They will come out more and more, most of mine come out during the day, but to bad I have to go to work...lol
