Interesting request...considering Sun Polyps are typically closed under daylights

Dean i'd like to get a better look @ the overall bodies of the corals. ming has a pic of his suncoral under daylights and it's fully open.

they will open during daylight if you feed them @ that time.

Yea they do, my black and orange both open fully when they get some food.

Scarf, they open up fine during the day if you feed them. I even kept mine closer to the top for a while to make feeding easier for me and they still opened in the day.
Personally, I don't feel lighting effects sunpolyps in any way... good or bad.

Jon, you said in the PM that you wanted to see the bodies, so I decided not to feed them so you can see shape.
Pics 1 and 2 show the better tissue of the orange one. Pics 3 and 4 show the parts of the orange one that were stung by my galexia that I told you about in PM. Most of what is seen on top of the orange one is new growth (or I should call it "grow-back"). obviously, the yellow and black are behind the orange. LMK if you are still in. No rush.

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.
