Description: A very elusive coral sought out by reef keepers everywhere, the Dendro Coral is very similar to its close cousin the Sun Polyp Coral. They are the same genus but different species. They grow larger usually and have defining colors around the mouth and the white pattern on the tentacles is more prominent. The biggest difference, besides the obvious difference in growth pattern, is that the Dendro Coral will have its polyps extended during the day. It is a non-photosynthetic species so it will need to be fed regularly. A few individual pieces of mysid shrimp fed two or three times per week works well. These corals are very hardy and will grow quickly.These are very rare indeed; extremely nice colors throughout this colony. Very fat heads with BRIGHT yellow eyes and a brilliant red body rounded off with orange red tentacles. Diet and Feeding: Dendros do not need to be fed as often as normal sunpolyps. Once or twice a week is fine. A good suggestion is to turn the pumps off, and feed a mixture of frozen mysis and frozen spirulina. Fend off the fish in the tank (secret weapon: turkey baster) to make sure the dendrophyllia get as much food as possible (for a healthier and more beautiful coral). Placement: Dendrophyllias, should be placed on or near the sand because they are open for the majority of the day and can eat pods in the sand. Approximate Purchase Size: Single Head 3/4" to 1
