They are protopalythoa

cool, i read somewhere that someone said they were similar to the sun polyp where you have to target feed it.

[CritterZ]

You can probably target feed them as with most paly.

[ReefRian]

you don't have to target feed them.

I have had some for over two years and have never fed them directly and they have exploded in numbers. I started with one and now have probably 25.

Rian,

Thanks for the clarification. I started with a few in my tank, and they have been reproducing. I have never target fed them either. BTW - did you get some that were in the aquarium at UC Davis?

reefrian, are they the haitian sun polyp or just regular brown polyps?

[Undergrad]

I've never heard of them called Haitian Sun Polyps but they are exactly like those. Minh, yes I got them from Davis. Toonen gave them to me about 3 years ago, about 6 months before he moved to Hawaii.

those look like what we call cinnamon polyps. They are native here is s florida as well as the caribean.

Target feeding isn't needed for sun coral either, I have three frags of orange and one of black that are all doing real well without individual target feeding.
