Feeding Sun Corals - *VIDEO*

[ScottR]

I was chatting with @Jomama about NPS corals and feeding. I shared this video so I thought I’d post it here. I feed my dendrophyllia sun corals once a day. Usually I feed LRS reef frenzy or some other frozen. They eat every time. They also catch food that flys by when I feed the fish. They’ll eat anytime - day or night.

Thanks. I’m horrible at photo and videography. I didn’t even clean the glass.

You are really good at target feeding! Thanks for sharing, that’s a really happy dendro!

Thanks! All it takes is a turkey baster and some hungry corals.

That's super cool. I've been going back and forth on those. They're super colorful but I don't know if I can keep up with feeding them. Your video makes me want to hop off the fence.

They’re not as hard to keep as some of the non-photosynthetic softies out there. I only feed my fish frozen food -no pellets- so it’s not too hard. I find that they’ll catch food blowing around the tank so even if I’m short on time, I let nature do it’s thing.
