Looking good, Just make sure that you use something like Reef Soultion to keep them fed good. When their little tenticals come out, thats when their feeding. I spot feed my candy cane, Sun Cups every other day.

my tank is only a 10 gallon with no skimmer so feeding anything is an ammonia risk. what exactly is reef souloution or suncups?

Sorry...Sun Cups Are another coral.

Reef Solution is a Supplement That has the food that they need to servive. Also depending on the corals that you have, You may need to add Phyotoplankton......or ZooPlankton

Candy Canes don't need supplemental feeding. I had mine for nearly two years and never fed them. Unfortunately my tank crashed after a lighting malfunction so I no longer have them. 8(

why dont you do some research on the web Zestay if your confused, heres a link to get you started http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=597+321+454&pcatid=454 fwiw i dont directly feed mine, but i do add salifert coral food 2-3 times a week and they feed from this, good luck
