Dendros
Dendros (azooxanthellate)
Dendrophyllia
Common names: Dendros
Difficulty Level: Dendros are much like sun coral in looks and care, however, they seem to fare much better in captivity and are easier to train in to eating frozen foods.
Feeding: These corals must be fed large meaty foods to survive. It may be easiest to remove the coral from the tank and feed in a separate container, however, it’s sometimes possible to train them to extend in the tank for feedings. Feeding at the same time every day for a period may help this training along.
Lighting (Level 0): These corals do not need light.
Waterflow: Moderate to strong water flow is important.
Placement: Dendros are not aggressive corals, and are usually best placed in shaded areas of the tank.
General: These corals are a large commitment due to their demanding feeding requirements.
