Wait a month & I can split mine in half. I have about 60 polyps on mine.

Adams has one. ;0) $75, orange I think. I have three but not quite ready to split or get rid of. They are a lot of work. The"lander" works awesome for feeding them though.

What's the lander?

IMO, it is the most important tool in feeding Sun Corals. It is awesome!

here is a similar design I used:

For youuuuuu........ 5000 dollar!!!

How much for the 30 polyps or so, Xroads? I had one years ago and didn't know how to maintain it. My daughter has a beautiful one that she feeds cyclopeeze to through a Salifert syringe. She just waits until it opens up and squirts each polyp individually. It's one beautiful coral

Thanks for all replies.......

How big was the one at Adam's, Jtesdall?

[xroads]

I will be needing some stuff so I figured we would make a trade. My goal is to get tank set up by Christmas

I can't remember for sure, I would say 10 heads or so.

[Fishy1]

I just checked and you are a little over two hours away from me Do you ever come to the Des Moines area? Wish you lived closer!

[Fishy1]

JT Would like a bit bigger one that that, if possible

Thanks, though............

Their price is high as well.

Aquatic Environments has a very nice one. It is red/orange. Theirs are usually around $50. You can ship sun coral fairly easily. Most places in Iowa are next day ground through fedex and USPS.

No they don't, he-he!

[Covey]

In in club


I bombed them with rod's food, cyclop-eeze, and rotifers.

They opened up all ready. I am taking that as a good sign.

[Covey]

As of ten minutes ago the seem to be settling in good.


What is everyone favorite food for Sun Coral?

[Fishy1]

Thanks for the info Atticus.........will remember them in the future Nice looking one, Covey, I'm jealous!

[Covey]

I added them to a dark corner of my tank where the detritus seems to settle the other LPS seem to like it there so that is what I am going with at the moment.

[Fishy1]

I ordered a suncoral off of SWF.com and it will arrive tomorrow. Hope it's okay to say this

I am checking in to the Lunar Lander.......looks pretty cool!

heck just make one, looks like a 10 min job

[jtesdall]

A few tips on making one:

1. Use Marbles or better yet half marbles found in crafts at walmart
2. Use silicone not Super glue
3. Use 1 liter bottle
4. Silicone marbles end to end around the bottom.

Works great
