Dendro experts, need your opinion. I know its a very bad picture, but do these look like Dendros to you, if so which type do you think they are?

Thanks!

Here are some more pictures, do these look bad to you besides the algae problem. Would you buy them?

Thanks!

Hard to see, but they look like D. coccinea. Depending on the size they go for $55-80 per polyp.

This is my dendro. I got it of ebay about ten months ago for 170.00 it had about eleven heads on it. Now it has about sixteen heads. Picture was taken when I first got it.

this is probably close to the actual size, almost as big as a baseball.

Hi ISJG
I see you have numerous heads also.Have you ever tried making any frags of this coral.I have a lot of heads,but kinda holding back doing it.I see where folks have cut them,because we see single poyps for sale.But was wondering the best way of doing this,being there isn't any type of branching on them.Just cut between each mouth

Talking Duncan's the coral for me!

it's going to take me a whle but I am going to trey to collect as many Duncan's as I can for the very simple reason the coral has my last name and it's just cool to have a tank full of coral named after you. take me a while but hopefully someday I will have several if not every varity.

Duncans are cheap as chips here, most people have them and frags are common. Basically you just snap off a branch. If you like you can first cut around the membrane that encrusts the branch to stop it tearing. This is the greatest problem with Duncans IME. Once the membrane starts to recede from tears, or encroaching stinging corals or even hair algae (I have one affected by this now) then once the recession hits the head it often kills it. If you can stop the recession it will recover, they're fast growers esp if you feed often.
