Aquarium Advice FINatic
Beautiful coral. I did some reading on them today just for kicks. Does yours stay closed up most of the say and only extend like in the picture when you feed it? I really like sun corals and would be willing to spend the time with target feeding if they were open a decent amount but it doesn't quite seem worth it if they will only be open an hour or two a day... or night. I read that they open more at night.
Actually, I feed the same time every night and they open up about the same time. They stay opened up from about 6 pm to around 7 am in the morning (I feed about 6 pm). IMO they are even pretty when they're closed. I will admit that it takes some addiitonal time to properly feed them. I wouild also suggest that if you do commit to the feeding and care of this beastie, that you get an orange one.....I have a black one also and it's not nearly as bright as the yellow.
