So, my wife gave me an early Christmas gift. She got me some orange cup coral! I've been wanting some for awhile as I feel that they are so pretty when opened! They are starting to get acclimated to the tank. I'm starting to condition them to open up in the daytime by target feeding them.

I have 2 heads and have not had any luck getting them to open. I target feed reefeoids, they seem to ingest them, but they have yet to open (been 3 weeks now).
 
I'm hoping that they fully open up in the next few days! If they do I'll be sure to post some pics!

They're a low light/nocturnal coral and do best if placed under overhangs and shaded areas. They can be acclimated to open up in the daytime but it takes awhile.
 
Very nice! I want one as well.
