Yes, if it's cut into pcs small enuf for it's mouth, provided there are no fishes and shrimps to compete with it cuz it takes in food rather slowly.

sun corals only open in the dark! =) they are on the underside of rock structures in the ocean! =)

I do not agree. Given time, it will follow the frequency of feeding time of your tank. It can and will open when there is light. Speaking from experience.

Agree.. They just need time to get used to the environment...

I usually target feed them using a needle......if you have cleaner shrimp have to take care as they will dig into your sunflower to snatch food...I use a fish net to block them away from my sun n super-sun....so far they are happy...
