Sun coral appreciation thread

Mine were wide-open during the day, as this is when they are fed. They can be trained this way.

I feed twice a day and they're out during feeding time but most of the day chilling.

Mine were out all the time. I also checked the date stamp of the same photo. It was taken on a Sunday. I feed corals on Mondays and Fridays.

They only open at night correct? I think they’re so pretty!

Edit: I went back to check the time stamp of my first photo. It was taken at 10:05 a.m.

That’s good to know, maybe I will try one. Does it help to place them in a shaded spot like under an overhang or cave?

You can train them to your schedule of feeding. Tidal gardens has great info about success with suncorals.

It at least helps keep algae off of them if they are under a bit of shade, but you’ll want to be able to see them, too! When I moved mine, it was to a much higher PAR location in the tank, so I'll see how that goes. They are NPS, so they need no light. They do need good flow, though.
