Dendrophyllia Care (aka Fat Head Dendro / Super Sun Coral)

[ReeferAdrian]

Hi guys,

Am planning to get 2 heads of Dendros to start things off with non photosynthetic corals. Any tips to this? i have read extensively on this, some articles are saying do not feed to much (gut root issue), with once a week should suffice, while others claimed daily. I'm leaning towards weekly feeding. Unlike sun corals, dendro will open up during day as well i heard, any best practices to ensure it does?
High or low flow preferred?

Any input is much appreciated! excited to get these nonetheless.

I think feeding at the same time on the day that you feed is the trick for teaching them when to open. I think that they're pretty easy to care for (compared to other NPS). If you're feeding your fish throughout the week, they'll catch a good bit of that as well.

Thanks mdbanister, thats good feedback. Yes, currently am feeding them during daytime, twice a week, a mix of reefroids and pellets. Hopefully they will grow well. I did heard about these guys being easier to care for as well, and there is a import ban on these guys into US?
