Sun Coral

jakigoldy · Dec 3, 2009

I am looking for some sun coral. I can't spend alot, but would love to get some, even if it's just a head or two. Let me know if you or anyone else has some for sale. Thanks!

I have a big one and I could cut some...

PM me and we can work something out.

been thinking about fragging up my colony and since this is becoming the popular thing to do...

Hmmmm look at all them sun corals. That would be a nice addition alongside my Dendro that is open all the time now and has a total of 3 heads and is growin like mad in the new setup. Hmmmmmm

Thunder for the win! Nice colony man

thanks! its a beast it opens up whenever you add anything to the tank, a fish, my hand, flake/pellet food, and when the daylights go off. has anyone ever fragged a sun coral before? its like fragging a duncan am I right?

I've got a number of Australian Dendrophyllia heads and Duncans as well if you're interested. $10/head for either.

Fred I would be interested in the Dendro's as would Jhildebrand. How many heads are the frags?

what water parameters does it require?

Jhildebrand · Dec 4, 2009

reef conditions and a willingness to feed at least twice a week. enough flow to keep sediment off.

Keiki · Dec 4, 2009

Thunderstruck do you feed it often?

Thunderstruck34 · Dec 4, 2009

eh, on avg I feed it 3-4 times a week (frozen mysis mainly, with a lil rods reef every now and then). not too bad at all tho, really adhesive feeding tentacles.

Jhildebrand · Dec 4, 2009

+1 on the mysis. i mix a little reefchili in with mine and let them gorge themselves in a cup that sits in my frag tub to keep the temp the same. then when they're done i just dump the water. pretty soon babies appear...
