That tells me that it's not a Dendro. Dendros never fully close, at least the two heads I have don't.

Dendro

The picture just really looked like it. Like I said, I have a hard time telling them apart.

Yep, that's a sun then. They are selfish buggers and want to keep their beauty to themselves.

Yes it is lol i have to get my arm wet to make sure the little guys on the side get full lol and since im feeding over the course of 3 hours i end up with a really wet towel llol but in the end they are worth it

You can't tell the difference when the flesh is on them. To ID the Genus you have to study the dead skeleton.
