 Sun looks stunning but I think the clowns are looking for leftovers lol Keep it fed happy and you should have no probs with it and it will probably spawn too if happy enough Smile If it does spawn you will see little yellow dots in the locality of the coral Smile

Thanks for the kind comments.  I think most of the credit for the sun coral has to go to Nicky my wife.  She chose it, and does most of the feeding of it.

Not much really.  We feed it frozen mysis.  I can't remember the exact cost of the packs but they have 24 cubes, and 1 cube will last for 2-3 days if stored in the fridge.  

We feed the coral every other day now.  It was fed daily to begin with as it was not very healthy when we bought it.
