ReefSafari Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 AWESOME! Amanda has the Orange/Pink kind, but has always wanted to get the black version, Very cool! Looks like alot of growth in 6 months, If you ever frag them let me know I know Amanda would love a frag of the Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ive got some of the orange type. How long did it take for it to grow a full new polyp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGooseWhisperer Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've never seen these before, but I really like them. Can someone post a pic of the orange variety (or any other colors that are around). Whats a more formal name? I'd like to read up on care for them a lil bit.

Topher Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Cyclopeeze, brine shrimp, home made food mix. I myself am amazed at the growth on the yellow sun polyps. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberduck9 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 You can train them to come out during the day instead. I trained my dendro and a sun coral I had for a short while. Just squirt them with alittle oyster feed during the day and when they open up.....Bamo.... nail them with mysis. takes about 2 weeks of this and they will stay open during the day for ya.

cellowithgills Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I put mine under my toadstool leather in the shade. They don't open all the way but the do open enough to feed during the day. I don't think that they're LPS though. I'm pretty sure they are under the NPS category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 both are traned to come out about an hour before the lights go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
