They are gorgeous whether you have to feed it or not. Couple of krill a day to maintain that beauty is worth it my opinion.

[dustin_P74]

huh, didnt know that, my apologies sir

 

[Melonbob]

oh, no problem.....ryan just has me guessing, but this comes from a member of our canadian site who's shop has an inpeccible reputation. not sure how many heads, I'm waiting to hear back, said he was gone till this evening

 

[dustin_P74]

well either way they seem to be the same care wise, so just make sure they get fed every other day or so and youll be fine

 

[Ashlee]

that is an awesome looking coral, well worth the work imo

 

[RyanG]

Yeah same came very similar looking coral I think that Dendros get larger polyps, nice pickup regardless.

Ouch ... to rich for my blood. That just means you will have to post a lot of pics!:mrgreen:

Yep,dendro and suns are different but they have the same requirements-lots and lots of direct feeding.The good thing about dendros are they tend to stay open even when the lights are on and the larger polyp size.Nice looking group of dendros they have there.

 

[Melonbob]

Ok, an update. According to my research, they are different in that they are quite larger, the polyp size on the one I am getting is between 1-2" each. They are non-photosynthetic, so have no lighting requirements. they require feeding, but you do not have to feed each individual polyp. Infact, there are vids on youtube of them opening and closing as one. Finally, they remain open throughout the day, whereas with sun corals they close up most of the day and only open at night. Anyways, I did not pay nearly what you commonly see these things going for. He's a member of our regular chat and is blowing them all out for new stock!

Heres a few pics, I will of course take more as soon as its in my tank

I think feeding my corals is one of the coolest parts of the hooby. Good score they will be a great add to your tank.

Those look good Bob.

 

[Melonbob]

Well, yet another addition! I usually never add fish quickly after each other, but my mother insisted on picking out an early Christmas Gift while she was down here visiting! I can't take a pic cause he's too quick, but he a blonde naso tang, and so far everyone is calling him Santos L. Halper.....

Well, between the chromis, the dendros, and the tang, I should be comfy till after Christmas anyways.....

 

[Oscarsdad608]

Good luck with him. He should be happy in your 180. He will get nice and big.

 

[Melonbob]

Heres a few better pics

 

[reeffreak]

I was meaning to ask this question earlier.What is the white coral next to the dendros?They are a stunning coral,good luck with it and the tang.

 

[Altohombre]

[cthegame]
