New to sun polyps

Does anyone have any good information I could use on my new frag of sun polyps. I just bought the frag a few weeks ago and so far the polyps haven't come out. The only time they sort of show is when I feed all the fish. Also, there's some algae in between the heads on the exposed skeleton, what should I do about that? Anything would help, thanks.

Sun corals do not use light to feed. You need to feed them meaty foods like brine shrimp or cyclopese(spelling). When I had mine I took a water bottle and cut the bottom off to cover the coral. Keeps the fish from taking there food. I used a baster to fill the bottle. This link might help you too.
