Nice sun flower, bro Ken.

How do you target feed them? I always got problem feeding pieces of meat to my anemone. My greedy angel and tangs just keep grabbing them away.

sad to say that I have given up most of my sunflower corals and now only left 1 supersun....

I use a small longish pump to target feed them. If you have trouble keeping your fish away...I always pump a little at the far end of the tank to attract the fishes...

Interest in non photosynthetic corals seems to be waning. Does anyone have good success keeping sun corals and sea fans for a few years?

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

I feel keeping a sun coral is akin to jogging in that they both require lots of discipline. You have to be very focused and feed the coral conscientiously just like you need to train continuously for jogging. When you do not keep up the feeding, it weakens and deteriorates just as when you take a long break from training, your stamina is gradually lost. I sprinted for about 2 months then stopped. Now I completely gave up already.

Feeding them is very time consuming. What is the best pre feed to make them wake up? I use cyclopeeze which is a real pain as the small particles always float to the surface.... But once they open up, its easy to feed mysis.

Normally i would stop all my pumps and feed them with frozen brine shrimps in a dropper.
