Tips and tricks for growing fathead dendros?

[JoJosReef]

This guy is almost 2 years in my tank. Still one head and still about the same size. I have 4x dosed Reef Nutrition blend (phyto/oyster/pacpod/roti) + Avast Plank Reef Jerky/TDO pellets, and when in office I manually broadcast ROE a couple times a day and target feed the dendro a couple times a week with TDO pellets + beta brine.

Any thoughts on getting this guy to, I dunno, grow a second head maybe? Thanks!

I would try meatier foods for target feeding and maybe every other day.

It’s been awhile since I kept dendros or sun corals but man could they eat!

I'm in the same boat. I fed mine almost everyday when I feed my fish.... Nada. Super weird.

Everything else in the tank grows no problem.

Mysis? I do have some frozen, but I would imagine that's similar to beta brine, no? I don't think a piece of krill would fit. Perhaps I can chop a piece of cocktail shrimp or scallop...

Chop up pieces to make small enough?

Bring tank home and install at house in at home office.

Bah! I can't do that. My nano at home was enough of a problem. Always tinkering with it and getting everyone upset. Office is much better--only so much time I can spend on it, which oddly enough seems to work out better.

I believe that! I keep wondering if I can sneak a tank into my office at work…..
