Dendrophyllia

damageinc · 10-12-2005, 08:13 PM

Just a pic of my dendro's about 30 heads. They are amazingly hard.

I destroyed a huge head once while fragging. I mouted a sliver of the destroyed head and it sprung up with over 3 babies!

Welcome! Very nice.

Thanks Travis. Glad to be here. I read on another thread that you helped someone with picking a digital camera.

I'm looking for one now. Do you have a link or a certain thread with info about this topic?

Thanks

Nick

Great thread on digital camera's travis.

Thanks again.

I just got my first dendros a little while back. I am in LOVE with these corals. They are way cool.

Is that pic the colony which grew from the sliver, or is it the colony before the fragging tragedy?

rdvab · 11-22-2005, 11:06 PM

do these guys require regular feeding?What about lighting?
Thanks Ron

WendyMC, I bought the colony with about 20 heads. It has at least 30 heads and I have fragged it a few times already.

rdvab, they need no light. Regular feeding of meaty food (i.e krill) at least every other day is a must.

What are dendro's going for per polyp now?

damageinc · 12-09-2005, 08:06 PM

I've seen them for anywhere from $40 to as high as $75 per head. Depends on the size.

I have a Dendrophyllia - started with 5 heads now has 4 more small ones. My problem is placement. Its glued, I assume, to a small rock, is unbalanced, and I'd like to find a secure spot for him - can I remove him from the small rock? Should I? Also, it may help to take some frags and spread them out but I have never done this - with anything. How does one go about taking frags? I guess I could glue the rock to another.
I've had my tank for about a year and a half. 24 gallon aquapod with 250W MH.
Any specific or general help with placement, gluing, fragging would be great.

Thanks
Jon

One of my favorite corals for sure. Just get tired of feeding them daily, but worth it.
