picked up a couple of dendrophillia corals today, a purple and an orange/yellow. We have coral dipped everything at this point but have never had lps or nps(as the lfs informed us of these) should we dip these babies?

Did your LFS actually inform you about the care requirements for Dendronephthya? They're one of if not the most demanding thing you could choose to keep. I'm willing to share any and all information I have and methods I use to keep them.

Thank you and yes they have to be target fed as they are non-photosynthetic type of coral. We feed many different types of food inc. freeze dried phitoplankton and target feed some of our tank friends already. If we have any probs we will let you know
 
You almost certainly will have problems, very, very, difficult but good luck.
