Do Sun Coral polyps share food?

[kevindub]

I am thinking about buying a Sun Coral. I know they need to be fed regularly. I already feed my anemone daily so there is no problem to add the Sun Coral to my feeding schedule. Will the polyps share food? Do I have to always feed each polyp seperately? If I have to feed each polyp, I will probably pass because it is too much of a chore.

Do you mean the Genus: Tubastrea?
If so, yes each polyp has to be fed as they have separate stomachs and are not a colonial coral.

I'm told to grind up the food and squirt the coral with a turkey baster. It will spray and feed all.
