Dendrophilia, I'm told they'r more easier than sun coral, that they'r photosynthetic??? True???

they arent photosynthetic, but they tend to stay open all day which makes them easier to feed. definitely something i would like to add to my tank as well

Great!!! I've seen Sun Coral in some LFS in past and had I seen them sooner I would have taken them home, when I saw them, store hadnt fed properly and they were on their way out.... Thats another reason I stayed away from them, that was a cpl of years ago, now I have time, so would like to add them to my tank....:)

I have 2 types of Dendro's in my tank right now. They are one of my favorite coral types. It took me so long to be able to afford them and even longer to find them. The most popular type are the Dendrophyllia fistula. They are also known as Jumbo Head Dendros. You might also call Matt at Austin Aqua Farms. I bought $1800 worth of D. fistula's about 2 months ago from him. He might still have some. I'd call though because the one colony he had listed on his web site lead me to 10 more colonies that were unlisted. Truly impressive corals to be had at AAF. Good Luck
