I picked up a nice sun coral at the MWRF and have been trying to entice it open to feed it.  It seems to be learning that when I put food in the tank in the evening it should open up.  When it does I feed it mysis with a turkey baster. Tonight it came out really well and I blew  food over it with the turkey baster.  Sometimes I turn off the pumps so the food will stay over the coral.  I have to guard the area with the baster to keep the fish away.  I'm quite happy with the results so far.

you could try cutting the top of a bottle and puting it over the coral and that would keep the fish away i think i read it somewhere in this board and it works really good
It's not about what you know but about who you know

Yep that is what we do with ours and it works great. Just cut a cola bottle and stick it over the sun coral and feed it the mysis and within minutes its opened. We have gotten several new heads on our sun coral as well.
