Not sure what this is. Am trying to force feed it some Neptune coral pellets. You guys think there is a chance or is it too late? Maybe the polypse don't even have enough energy left to come out?

Do you have any aminos or other liquid coral food? If you do, try adding a little to a cup of tank water and let the coral soak for 30 min or so each day and then put it back in the tank.When I bought it at the store the polyps were so close to being out so I thought it was healthy. Now In just two days the skeleton is turning white
Unfortunately not. I can make a brine and mysis smoothie right away though! What liquid food do you suggest?Do you have any aminos or other liquid coral food? If you do, try adding a little to a cup of tank water and let the coral soak for 30 min or so each day and then put it back in the tank.
A mashed up mysis cube would help. Lots of different amino vitamin blends on the market. I have brightwell restor as well as aminos. I occasionally add a drop of the aminos to the frozen food defrosted in a cup.Unfortunately not. I can make a brine and mysis smoothie right away though! What liquid food do you suggest?
Nice. Probably still adjusting to your water parameters if it’s only been a couple days.hahaha it actually worked! Out of the 4 heads I put pellets on 3 heads ate.
The trick is to get those polyps to come out first...in order to feed. It could take days or even a week or so. Looks like yours are starting though. Once they start coming out....you are in business. Once they start coming out.....each day, they will expand more and more.
I usually feed the rest of the tank with a small amount of plankton food.....or even just stirring up the sand.....which will then cause the polyps to emerge day or night. At that point, I use a turkey baster to directly deliver a mixture of mysis, bloodworms, brine and even LRS. Those polyps can take in large chunks. I will even occasionally feed them live blackworms....which usually ends up in a "Lady and the Tramp" spaghetti scene as each polyp gets one end of a worm. My sun corals are secured mostly upside down under a ledge that gets no direct light.
Beautiful tank! May I ask how you secured the sun corals upside down? I’d like to do the same with mine.The trick is to get those polyps to come out first...in order to feed.
