Just attach a small acrylic pipe to the tip of the syringe and there you have it. If the tip is of different size, cut an air tube as a union joint. You can get the acrylic tube at art shops @ Bras basar. Oh ya, get the largest syringe from any pharmacies.

Don't have the exact address right now...

But its located on the HDB level 2 next to Chinatown complex(the newly upgraded hawker centre)...there is even a birdge connecting the hawker centre to the HDB..

The pix posted by marcel isn't bad too...but the syringe that i bought has extenable tube is stiff & not flextible...so easier to reach the bottom of the tank...

If u need the exact address let me know.. will have to search for it...

cheers!

PS: If ur sun coral isnt opening... try enticing with frozen brine shrimp...( had the same problem)

You can find the frozen brine shrimp in most LFS.

Regarding where you should keep the sun coral...

Sun coral doesn't require light as it doesn't rely on light for photosynthesis.

But there is no harm in keeping a lighted place...

Most importantly choose a place where its easy to target feed...

I have put mine on a small flat rock on the sand bed...so that it polyps close to the bottom doesn't sink into the sand

I use a coke bottle to target feed so sand bed is the best position for me...

Cheers!

Just attach tube to something stiff..Like a long chopstick will do the trick.
