what did we buy

This is the new coral the wife just had to have. NOt sure what it is but I like it. The LFS told us to spot feed it three times a week and light was not an issue since it needs to be fed. Does this sound right? Let me know what you guys know about these, Thanks

Looks like dendros to me. Or sun coral but I doubt it'd be open like that. I vet dendros... Awesome coral!

Sun Coral or Dendros. I think dendros but I can't tell. ^^

Here's a good link to research, it'll tell you more.

Yep those are dendros. He was right on about their care. They need to be hand-fed as they are non-photosynthetic.

+1 to all...dendro it is. They should do well for you as long as you feed them as suggested.

 

[andersoned14]

what would you expect to pay for one of these this one has six heads on it two are smaller?

 

[Bifferwine]

They normally go for $10 a head or so.

 

[andersoned14]

we paid $60 so I guess that is a fair price thanks again for all the info.

I'd love to pay $10 per head from a LFS here in PA. They range from $25-$49 per head depending on the LFS.
