Talking Dendro's - Lets see them!

I know lots of folks have them nowadays. Lets see your stash. I'll start:

Those are all very pretty, I love the translucent quality of the polyps. Beautiful photography as well.

I have had one now for about 6 months. How do you get it to grow more polyps? I feed about once a week.

Beautiful pix of beautiful corals. Keep them coming. Hugo, how many polyps are on yours? It looks like it's a colony as opposed to the rest of ours that are just a few polyps.

I have some Duncanopsamia axifuga which are cousins to the dendro's and in the same family, but much harder to come by. I'll have to get some pic's up and post them. I traded some to Mike over at thecaptivereef and he has them on his website if you must see them now, or go to frags.org I like the Duncan's better than my dendro's, they grow faster and say out more.

Nice pix. My camera/website are down. But man I've found that Dendros are practically bulletproof. The recede easily but three times I've almost killed a polyp (once aiptasia, once bubble algae, once just plain stupidity) and twice just a touch of orange remained in two parts of the skeleton and the formed two heads each time. I'm convinced that if you take pliers and snap the head, every bit with orange flesh form a new head.

I also get more comments on my Duncanopsamia axifuga (I have two types) from reefers, but from non-reefers they notice the Dendro more. Reefers see the Duncans and say - wow a baby elegance, they see the Dendro and ask why my sun coral only has a couple polyps. Non-reefers LOVE the orange of the Dendro, they are out pretty much 24/7.

Jess, that picture is a little misleading. The acans are in the background and are not close enough to damage to dendro.

Hugo, I'll start a new thread just as soon as my camera/website are all figured out. The ORA has a much bigger center and smaller tentacles - also its practically 100% green pigment from the mouth to the tips. The other has a very defined green center that ends, with much fatter tentacles. Outside of the green center the flesh is blue/gray/purple. I love them both, but I like Joe's slightly more. I got it from joetbs, he has pix over in a thread in the Prop Corals Forum. I only have a polyp of each, although they're both looking like they're ready to sprout some babies on the bottom. I've noticed tremendous growth spikes in my Dendros/Micros/Duncans since I started feeding them every day.

Here is a picture of Joe's. It is very accurate in color, however I think the center is more green in person. Its really sweet, someone should LE it.
