Maybe it mobile is not waterproof at all☺️☺️☺️

I should have ask the keeper to feed in front of me ....

99% of sun coral wont open in LFS one. By the time they settle down they are already in someone else tank...

bro, once you see the white skeleton in sun coral, it has starved way too long. Since these few days are PH, wake up in the middle of the night and see whether the sun coral is open or not. if it is, then feed it daily till it recover and show some meat.

FYI, this is how my sun looks like at 3am.

Your sun is still alive. When the heads start to die the meat will just dissolve leaving the white skeleton. Leave it in a peaceful area near medium flow. Then feed your fish n corals with tasty food like roids, Henry, etc. Give it a few days to open, it can last for weeks without opening up. But once it start to open, faster target feed and they still get bigger.

I have transfer it to my main tank yesterday. Started to see bits of white skeleton. I still bear some hope for it to maintain and grow back eventually. Feeding will be cyclopeeze, brine shrimp and mysis as per normal. Do have the intention to glue it under a live rock and I am still considering to do that...

Change in parameters can cause heads to die off. Mine initially stayed close for weeks but still grow new heads.

I love your sun corals, still maintain water parameter to the best I can, really hope at least few polyps to pull through and can survive . I have to be really patient about it

      Thanks for all the queries and it is overwhelming. I decided to close this thread for now to better structure how the decomm is going to take place progressively. Sorry that I may not be able to response to all and hope to seek your understanding that this will have to be carry out in stages to minimize disruption to the livestock.
