dendrophyllia??

Bernie21 · #1 12/26/2007, 01:15 PM

Does any one have any of these, or seen one for sale. I think I want one, but I would like to know whatg they go for. They look like sun polyps, only they are bigger, open during the day and do not need to be fed directly.

Any clues, Ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

I am looking to getting some of these (will end up buying online if I had to guess). You stated that they don't need to be fed directly but from everything I have seen they should be fed but also get food from photosynthesis like other corals. I have found that prices vary tremendously based on size of heads and color. Good luck on your search!!

Well I reg feed my tank w cyclo, so I will feed it, it is just nice to know you do not have to target feed each polyp everyday for its survival. The prices do seem to vary but mostly stay over the $50 a polyp range, where are you prdering from online?? Thanks for the help, it is greatly needed.

those are a few I have found.... I have not decided for sure where I will get them. It will depend on what I can find when I am ready for them (waiting for my upgrade).

I saw some sat at the barrier reef in boca. They looked real nice. Are they hard to keep? Thanks!

they are easy to keep, just spot feed. I have one I got from CRF a few months back with 4 heads now it has 8. Lots of spot feeding.

are you sure they were dendros and not just a common sun coral at barrier reef??

im looking for one as well.

Bernie21 · #12 12/27/2007, 01:05 AM

If you HAVE TO spot feed then their prob a type of sun coral, dendros do have symbiotic zooxanthellae so they do not require the spot feeding sun corals need. Aside from that they are larger these are the two main reasons why they command a higher price.

Exotic Aquariums has had some duncan's which are like dendro's

currentking · #14 12/27/2007, 10:42 PM

This is my dendro, and you do need to spot feed them

Bernie21 · #15 12/28/2007, 01:44 AM

Da... King, that is SWWEEET!!, I Stand corrected...

Bret61081 · #16 12/28/2007, 09:11 AM

Isnt that what they had in many of the tanks at the Miami seaquarium when the group went?? If not, they look very similar!!

drpo21 · #17 12/29/2007, 07:22 PM
