Absolutely correct!! and this is a very sought after coral, take good care of it and it will grow......then you can frag it. Great find. Feed it mysis, brine, small meaty foods. Low lighting, and excellent reef perameters. Good luck with it. Nice coloring.

I would put him in a cave or lower him in the tank. They are not photosynthetic. Also you need to spot feed it. That is an awsome deal you got!

so its like a plate coral water lands on its tentacles it will move into its mouth?

 

[fishstick4sale]

o he gave me torches like frogspawn almost 4 heads. and blue and green zo's

Yup get the Dendro into a more shaded area and make sure you feed each head a few times per week. Mysis, Krill or something meaty like that.

[spanko]

Pipettes?

 

[fishstick4sale]

[fishstick4sale]

freakin cool i fed them today broke tiny pieces of bloodworms, and put in their tentacles and man they grabbed it and engulfed it pretty amazing reminds me of an anemone.
