because of the natural Habitat of sun coral- north California into Oregon and Canada would it be ok to put them in a cold water tank? If so, how should I acclimate them into the colder water?

Chiller or fans hitting the top of the water.How do you keep a cold water tank cold in summer?
What temperature are you thinking 60f ?because of the natural Habitat of sun coral- north California into Oregon and Canada would it be ok to put them in a cold water tank? If so, how should I acclimate them into the colder water?

Ok research what is local to you and the average temperatures winter and summer in your seas . Be careful about laws removing stuff. And first set up your tank in mind of what you want to keep. It can be done I have done most things with native tanks . If you need any help or info I am willing to helpYeah about that temperature, but I do think it should be a little bit colder
Interesting I have never heard they are related to zoanthids. They are so different with them making a skeleton and being completely non-photosynthetic. I would have thought closer related to euphilia.They don’t live near me, apparently they live a bit farther north, they also recently became invasive in the Mediterranean, they are a popular coral and they are also sold online, so I won’t be pulling any from the sea. The one thing that is tough with these guys is the amount of nutrients they eat which I am well prepared for. Apparently they are also a kind of Zoa too, they have the largest polyps out of all of them
Seems like a cool project! If the food is rich, like live baby brine, they go easily go with a feeding every other day.They don’t live near me, apparently they live a bit farther north, they also recently became invasive in the Mediterranean, they are a popular coral and they are also sold online, so I won’t be pulling any from the sea.

You are right, sorry, I mixed up sun coral and sun polyps :/Interesting I have never heard they are related to zoanthids. They are so different with them making a skeleton and being completely non-photosynthetic. I would have thought closer related to euphilia.
I agree. Might be a subspecies that has evolved to handle colder environments.I keep this coral but in 78 degrees.
I’m not sure you want to go less than 70 though.
Got to feed daily after dark for best results.
I remember these now the balanophyllia are a cold water species single cup coral or something like that. Are the tubastrea from the americas more like the hidden cup coral? or like the typical sun corals? I didnt know these grew in that area.Turns out there are two completely different coral named the same thing and look almost identical, however they are completely unrelated…

Ill take em all! save the environment and all....Yes, they grow there and they are the typical sun coral, but they are actually invasive
