What are you feeding them, and how high is the flow where they are at. Most of what I have read on dendos say they like a medium high to high flow areas. They tend to extend more into the flow to hunt. They also are reported to go crazy for oyster eggs. Dendros also seem to have a reported short life span in captivity because of their high nutritional needs. Which tends to peak phosphate levels. Some people suggest a constant phyto drip and additional feedings of brine, tiger shrimp and oyster eggs. But I have not had one myself, and second hand knowledge being what it is. Take it with a grain of salt. Don't mind the pun. It wasn't intentional.

By the way I found an old article on Dendros that may help.Here is the link. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume...os/dendros.htm

Man, it feels like I am spamming you. I ran across another piece of info here on reefaddicts. http://www.reefaddicts.com/content.p...-Long-Beach-CA They seem to do some pretty extreme water changes to keep up with the required nutrient levels.

thanks for the links, i will do some reading, they are in a pretty low flow area right now, maybe ill move them and see how they do

I've been keeping Dendros for the past few years, and every few months one polyp just withers away. I've never figured out what the cause is, although a drop in alkalinity was the reason a few times. It's frustrating because I feed mine every night with mini-mysis, and the only time they are not fed is when I'm out of town for a few days. So they probably get a meal 330 days a year.
