Black Sun Coral

[Surfandturf]

So I am pretty excited. I asked my LFS to find me a black Sun coral and they did! It's pretty cool with the Green polyps. I have had the regular Sun coral before but not this type. Is there any difference that I need to know about?

My black was very sensitive to handling. So try to be sure to not have to move it a lot

I've found blacks open up more readily than the orange ones.

I will post some pics once I pick it up. I'm headed there now.

I just have a frag but my black sun coral comes

out a lot more than my other suns.

Mines smaller than yours, it's more a grower than a shower lol

 

[Alisha]

Lol nothing wrong with that, yours probably looks cooler with the green mines all black.

Here is the black Sun coral. I have him under a little over hang from my rock. He is on the bottom right in the tank picture. There seems to be some decent flow for it there. It's got about 6 heads, so not bad. He has come out yet, but I am sure he is just acclimating.

Had mine around a year, i find them no different to keep than the standard sun coral but spend more time open.
Hard to get pics of.

Beautiful coral. I will put in on my future list. Thanks for showing it.

Mine is always hungry, I feed it every day so it can grow.

Wow that is amazing!

Any updates on your black sun coral?

 

[Surfandturf]

Wow just saw this question. It's doing ok. It is not coming out to feed for some reason and has not for about 2 weeks. I'm not seeing any deterioration so I'm just letting it do it's thing.the Orange one is doing spectacular and growing like a weed!
