Getting a Dendro To Extend

[akabryanhall]

I have a Dendro colony that doesn't seem to want to feed. It's healthy enough, but have never seen tentacles. Anythingg I could try to get them to come out a bit?

Anyone got any hints for me on this? I've tried turning pumps off and wafting stuff over it.

Make sure you have it in a shady spot they don't like light at all.

Not true. They don't care 1 way to the other. They have no way to detect or interpret light levels.

OP:Google the tuperware method if you are talking about dendrophillya, which I am sure you are. dendronephthya is a whole nother animal.
