Sun Coral

My sun coral "blooms" even after I feed it and the lights are on. Does that mean it is still hungry?

I'd feed it again, the more you can feed it without comprimising water quality the more it will grow. I feed mine several times each feeding.

I just bought a black sun coral and I am assuming that I feed this one just like I feed the orange sun coral. Tell me if I am wrong!

Have any of you tried feeding it in a separate container? I've read a few posts of people doing it that way. Then I guess you can really feed as much as you want.
