    I bought it like that. Some Yellow - Some Orange. I liked it like that so I bought it. Are you saying that those were all orange once?:-/

    Yes, that's one colony so they should all be the same color. Hopefully, the "yellow" polyps will return to their orange color. If you feed them regularly, they should do well for you.

    No way you could have known unless you had more info on sun corals before your purchase :) Like I said, just feed them regularly and they should do well for you. These corals are not photosynthetic so you will have to feed them to keep them alive :)

    I was told to feed them every other day. What is the best food for them?

    Every other day should be fine. You can feed them frozen mysis shrimp or frozen cyclopeeze.
