the ones with the white tentacles are really cool but yeah, they are hard to find. I know viper showed a pic of his but trust me if he had any frags ready, I'd already have them in my tank

Now, there are a bunch of online places getting aussie shipments in this week and next week so expect more dends! I'm hoping for more white tentacle dends!

The dendros that vivid aquariums sell is no the ones like their pic with the whitish tentacles. They sell the usual D. coccinea. Rip off

The white dendros that I had died. They're tentacles weren't sticky at all and were very hard to feed. I might try them again though.

nice pic of the dend under moonlights.........the mouth really glows!

neyugn, qckwzrd might be talking about some white tentacled dendro he found on the net or perhaps your pinkish white dendro I posted a pic of, which is next to your orange one.

Does anyone find that high flow causes dendro to lengthen their tentacles. My friends is always long and flowing like a tube anemone, while mine is looking like a flower, sweet still but wanted to know. Mine is about twice the size of his so didnt know if size might have something to do with it also.

not to hijack here, but since this is the current dendro thread I'll ask it here...

What's the difference between a dendro and sun coral? They look the same, both need to be fed, come in the same basic colors, and they seem to have the same water quality needs. I take it dendros tend to be more expensive and rarer than sun corals, so there's the exclusivity factor going for them.

So what am I missing here?

Dendros are typically a larger polyp and will tend to stay open during the day as opposed to Sun coral.

mike your unknown dendro is a Dendrophyllia Arbuseula, i love those ones. i have seen two diffrent types the ones i posted pictures of which are the size of suncoral and the ones you have pictured. i love the pic of the white tentical dendro, where did you find that at?

Qckwzrd, the white dendro is very sick looking! I found it on some japanese website or something that had a bunch of pics. Will try and find the link to it. Also, yeah, that unknown possible arbuscula next to the white dendro is pretty cool, the orange/yellow color of it is spectacular.

Acerr, the unknown dend I have does kind of look like a arbuscula but Ming over at Atlantis has tried to search and find out more about it and can't figure an id of it. Perhaps he doesn't think its a arbuscula. Justin (viper) doesn't know what it is and he owns a few arbusculas. who knows?

i know it is because i have one that looks exactly like it. like i said there are different types or i guess sub-species that come from different ocean reigins. it adapts to each ocean climate and thats why they look different. atleast thats my understanding of it.

acerr, can you post a pic of your arbusculas?

Your right, it could be some kind of dendro subspecies. They all are beautiful though.

The unknown dendro is definitely not an arbuscula. The polyps are much smaller and the growth form is more compact.
