Dendra week 3. Still looks happy. Took advantage of her being fully open to feed some Marine Snow and Reef Roids.

Here's s decent shot for reference. Hard to get a good angle on the tape measure and the power head kept moving it around. She's about 7 inches tall.

Hind sight I should have just turned off the power head. I was afraid I'd smack her with the tape measure. But I wanted some reference to judge if she's shrinking from malnutrition.

I took a look.

Out of curiosity, not that I know what I'm talking about or anything, but are the trunks supposed to look all wrinkled? Is that a certain trait of a particular type of Dendronephthya or is that just a bad sign that things aren't going good?

Stress out, I think. When in a tank for 1 month or longer, trunk/stalk always plump. What I've noticed

That pic actually looks fine. The one on their website is a lot more wrinkled. It looks like it's melting.

It's probably stressed out , big time. Especially the polyps not open

When they are retracted partially they will look wrinkled too.

I would buy that as it just looks sulky to me.

I had to read your post twice as, the first time I read it, I thought you said, "Sultry." ;)
