Dendro

Here are a few other photo's of my dendro's. If you as me they are well worth it and not as picky as sun coral.

 

Very nice!
Do they require more frequent feeding like sun corals?

 

no you don't have to feed daily,but a few times a week they sure love.

 

Where did you get them? I am looking to order some, but I am having a hard time finding somewhere that has them for a realistic price.

 

Nice dendro pics!

What is a realistic price though? I love mine I got from an LFS, I paid $45 for 1 full polyp, a baby polyp maybe half the size of the full one, and the frag I got had half a polyp on it that was a fragging casualty. It wasn't difficult to get all two and a half polyps back in working order as 3 whole polyps, just feed them frequently with appropriately sized food for each polyp, I just used mysis shrimp and rod's food.

I know you can find dendros for $30 a polyp pretty easily (I just looked around quickly and found vividaquariums.com has them for $30 a polyp), probably cheaper if you look around or talk to an LFS or local reef club. They are relatively slow growers compared to a lot of coral especially apparently in a lot of people's tanks.

It's not like they aren't going to grow if you treat them right anyway, it's just a matter of patience, and like the OP said they're easier to care for than tubastrea/sun corals.

 

$30 a head is a realistic enough price. I talked with my lfs and he said if he got them the markup for him to make money off them wouldnt be worth it to me. I said it would be best to try online. I will go check out vividaquariums.com. Thanks

 

I got mine off of ebay 10 heads for $130 shipped.

 

They're really beautiful!
What are their requirements? Low light like a sun coral? Flow rate?

 

They like low light but will stay open most of the day. They're way way easier to feed than a sun coral. Low/ medium flow.
