Dendronephthya & Scleronephthya aquaculture

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Maybe, way it was cared for. I don't know how long it's been away from its natural environment. Before I got. I do know, polyps no longer normal, like in the wild, almost no polyps only color left. If it makes sense. Bummer.

I’m at page 25 of this thread. I have recently purchased a stereonepthea.

I have a wine bottle cooler that I use to dose AlgaeBarn’s phytoplankton to my tank. Any recommendations of things that I could add to the phytoplankton?

I’m presently culturing Tisbe copepods and can add these.

Do reef roids and various powders/freeze dried rotifers tend to settle out of suspension when they set in a dosing feeder like mine?

Do people use eggs in a blender with phyto to feed? I noticed this in an earlier post (I raise chickens).

Any pictures, stereo is photo synthetic, so you don't need to feed much. Post a few pictures and natural daylight maybe it's something different.

Funny you say that, I have a importer of corals and he has some sun corals waiting for me next week I'll grab them

I wonder if he has any yellow ones

I worked 3 and a half hours today at the lfs and came home with this for half price, it was reserved at the wholesaler for me.

About foods, I prepared some last night I put it in a small blender one egg probably like a quarter of a 32 oz of Phyto-Feast, dead type, some Reef Roids and blend

Here is a pic that I took in the LFS a day before purchasing. I can try to get another picture sometime tomorrow.

That my friend is scleronephthya, so, non-photosynthetic. Good flow, rotate/spin 90 degrees when ever. Good filtration. Spot feed. Really nice specimen. Thanks for sharing

Stereonephthya?

Not sure, it is nicely awake this morning so I will get pics when I put some whites on, over 6 inches and still expanding!
