dendro or sun coral?
I bought this peice of coral recently thinking it was a sun coral. But its polyps are quite large the biggest getting to almost a quarter and it branches out... here is a pic. Dunno what it is. I'm thinking more of a sun coral because the polyps don't like to stay out during the day time....
here is a pic when feeding them... [IMG]http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/gsechen/CIMG0646.jpg[/IMG] |
The dendros I've seen have thier tentacles always out. Its hard to tell from the pic, but my guess would be sun polyps.

sun

sun is my guess
|
yup sun coral
|
newbie question....what's the difference between the two? Is one harder to keep than the other or similar?
|
sun are smaller, don't open all the time, cheaper (30-40+ polyp vs 1 dendro polyp for the same price). MPO I like dendro better always out and open and larger. Both require reg feeding.

[/B][/QUOTE] Actually I talked to another reefer who the LFS owner gave one of the colonies to. He said the owner thought he could have him grow them out and then sell them for 1200 bucks a polyp LOL! |
LOL hahaha can you tell that owner I have rare chromis only $100/fish super nice blue green color.
Happen to have pic of the dendro they have at the shop? |
Looks like a suncoral, either way nice looking coral. Keep it fed :)
