So I got two small colonies (6-8 polyps each) of sun coral 6 weeks ago. I'm struggling to get them to open during the day. What I've been doing is to try to stimulate a feeding response with Polyp Lab Polyp Booster. I turn off all flow and hit them with the PLPB. After waiting 5-10 minutes, I feed them some thawed homemade frozen. Which I think is a waste of time since they haven't opened their polyps.
Any suggestions for how I can get them to open during the day? They're beautiful when open, but not worth having otherwise. When I check on them at night (they're in my frag tank in the basement), they are open though.
They're still alive after 6 weeks though, which I think is odd since I haven't been able to feed them. I guess they're surviving off of something in the water...
