Sun corals need feeding every day, don't they?

Not really, sometimes mine will not accept food too many days in a row, it just gets full.

I feed mine mysis and sometimes some rods reef mixed with it.

so the main consensus is feed every other day

They usually open at night, but can be coaxed to open with food. I used to keep mine on the bottom in moderate flow. To feed, shut off pumps, and use a turkey baster, that way you can put the food right where you want it. Don't forget to turn the pumps back on.
