Dendronephthya feeding

[Dr. Dendrostein]

On the net, found a scientific paper, where they disected various Dendronephthya, they found 4 to 5 different algea in gut. They also eat anything small enough to fit in mouth. Mostly algae

Nice pic.
I also like Scleronephthya.
Its polyps is bigger than Dendronephthya.
It is easier than dendronephthya ,isn't it?

Yes these types of Scleronephthya polyps look to me like closed fist,maybe when I bought them they were in bad shape, lfs can't make them expand, not close to what's in picture. there's different types out there. It's been said there easier. Thanks

No more than .03 or less. Sulfur denitrators taking care of them. Heavy heavy feeding.
