    Bloated Puffer

    I have one coral that is not photosynthetic. Its a sun coral but I could take it out for feeding I suppose and put it in a plastic box during feeding and return it back after. I will give it a try once I have also spoken to the fish shop. Who knew I could just have a fat fish.
