Sun Corals feeding tip

[eddywill]

Just a trick I will throw out to those of you who have or have tried to keep sun corals. I kept one for over 2 years fat and sassy by feeding him weekly. I placed it in the sand a few inches from my live rock - when I fed him I took the top half of a 2 liter soda bottle (clear bottom cut off) and placed it over him then sprayed food ( brine, formula, flakes whatever) in the top and let it feed without the food getting consumed by the fish. I used a turkey baster to occasionally stir up the water in the bottle so it could keep grabing particals. He ws as big the day I traded him as the day I got him! Happy Reefing Eddy

Traded it because work was going to have me traveling for 3 months - my wife can feed and tend the tank but this was too much for me to put on her!

I have been using that method a few weeks now with my sun coral and it works great.
