Fat head Dendro colony not growing
I've had this fat head Dendro colony for 2 yr. I spot feed once a week some frozen.
They don't grow at all. Is there a dry food I can feed for these? Thawing frozen often is pia. Thanks

Isn't that the one you're selling?
 Got to feed them chunks of thawed frozen. I've had them grow in size but not make baby polyps for a while and then lots of them.

Do not feed dry food. If you want them to grow, feed with either fresh or frozen food, thawed to tank temp of course, 4-5 times a week.

When I try to feed chunks of shrimp it always gets taken by a fish or shrimp. Am I just feeding too big of a piece?

Try cutting the bottom off a 2 liter bottle and use it to cover the dendro and then feed it through the bottle opening. Did that for mine when I was training mine to open during the day. Keeps things out and food in

I spot feed mine mysis and broadcast feed Reef Nutrition ROE & Reef Chili. They seem to eat all of it.
I find the when I'm spot feeding, if I give the skunk cleaner shrimps a couple pieces each first, that it gives the dendros enough of a head start for them to down the mysis. |
