    Hi greetings to all,

    Have tried unsuccessfully trying to keep Sun Coral before. Was told to target feed them to train them to open longer. Fed it today and they appeared bloated like small grapes. Is this normal...thanks for insight.

    See attached photo and a view of my 90gallon tank.

    Looks normal to me.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    It's normal. They probably taking their time to take in and digest the food you fed them
    It's simple...but no one said it will be easy

    You can look out for signs of suncorals being overfed like, tentacle no longer catches food and "vomiting" food out. Try not to overfeed them as they might spill their guts out and melt away.

    Thanks for insights. Have never seen them responding before. Probably too excited. Will be more sparing next time. My next challenge is to get them to open for longer period to enjoy the view. They seem to open only for food. How do you guys do it? Thanks in advance.
