Whoops. Didn't see this one til now.

My orange sun coral was my first coral. I bought that one in January from Aquatic Specialists & another (yellow this time) from Phishy Business last month. So far they've devoured mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, Rod's Original, & Reef Nutrition's Arcti Pods. Mine aren't exactly picky. :)

Rods has too much extra crap in it for me :P Strained Mysis here.

I said they ate it, I didn't say I still use it. lol. I blame it for my hair algae. Since I stopped using it, the hair algae is gone!

Its good stuff, in VERY small amounts. That makes it very hard to feed it, especially for target feeding coral.

UP DATE it is doing good still not as open as much as i like but trying to get a feeding schedual down

I feed rods by taking 6mm ( one full syringe) of water from the dt tank then mixing it with about a pencil eraser size amount of rods and mix it up till all the water is pink then i spot feed works great for me

I'm actually taking mine out, putting them in a catch cup (https://www.petsolutions.com/Default.aspx?ItemID=33101294) full of tank water and feeding them. I've had issues with the peppermint shrimp stealing food out of their mouths. I can't keep them away.

How often do you feed them? I feed mine every day.

still not as open as much as i like

they usually open up mostly at night, make sure it isnt getting blasted with light.
