Ya Dendros are great and very resilient, dont let one down to the bone shriveled up scare you, as long as theres the slightest feeding response you'll be fine. Keep them fed 2-3x week for really fast growth. Some take a while to acclimate to light. And some are a little stubborn opening up fully that may take 1-2 weeks. But to help you sometimes have to get some tweezers and push a mysis shrimp into mouth and they'll slowly eat it. Again as long as they have a feeding response which should suck food up in 1-2 minutes you'll be fine.
I've had one that was bare to the bone, sucked in, with a gaping mouth, bounce back in about a month, and now its fully open, eats like crazy and has 2 mini baby heads that eat too!! heres a pic

I can't see your pic but I am having issues with mine right now. It has been in the tank for about 4 months. Single head with 3 babies. I agree feeding is most important
