Lots of people take them out to feed. I don't get this as it would scare the coral IMO.
I agree. I did this every day to try to save mine after I came back from said vacation... by the time the poor thing opened up to feed the water was cold. Who wants to eat when you're shivering? Anyway, after two weeks of the routine and losing all but the one, I gave up. That one itty bitty polyp is still going, with NO extra attention from me. I figured it was a goner, so I just left it to expire on its own. I'd have to go back through my threads, but I think it's been a full year or more with me doing nothing "to" or "at" it, and it is still here and is open almost all of the time. I suppose it is catching particles that pass by in the water column?
