Phyl,
how come some of the website say they need to be feed?
candy cane coral
i have two smaller sets, about 5 heads each, they were full and puffy when i brough them, and they became very thin over time... then some one told me that they need to be fed... so i started to feed them with Cyclop-eeze twice a week, and they are now starting to getting better...
i bought this new one from the march meeting - just count it again, it have about 50 heads, (the same kind that you have with your altar)... i fed them with frozen brine-shirmp... they seems doing ok... just not sure i need to feed all heads or not...
thx again for the advise as always.

What they say is true:
"It will benefit from additional food fed weekly in the form of brine shrimp or micro-plankton. "
Yes, it will BENEFIT from direct feedings, but they aren't REQUIRED. Sun corals, by contrast, are non-photosynthetic and each head needs to be fed in order to survive. The trumpets don't NEED to be fed, but may grow faster if you do (hence the benefit).
HTH.
