Dendrophyllia,

Yeah dendro's are kinda cool, but I've always considered them part of the NPS group not so much the LPS group just because they are non photosynthetic. I wonder if my angel would leave them alone Wouldn't be a bad little idea for some of the more shaded parts of my tank to add some more color. How often and what do you feed it Kevin?

not sure on the angel, but really you can feed em just about anything youd feed your fish(pellets, brine, mysis, cyclops, and pretty much anything meaty). some people feed em every other day but i would feed them maybe 2-3x a week. ive overfed mine once before and they died because unlike some corals these dont seem to have the ability to regurgitate leftover/undigested food so it rots inside of them.

Cool thanks for the info Kevin, I might have to try one and see how it does with the angel. Are they a decent grower, or take a while for new heads to show up?

Say what? No Acans on the list? I've got to go with Lords as my favorite, you just can't compete with their crazy colors, awesome growth rate and ease of care. Plus they look insane when they're feeding.

I really like Caulastrea. I have some type of lobophyllia, which right now looks like an oversized caulastrea head, that I am fond of. Big fan of acans too.

Scolys all the way! Great coloring and easy to care for. The center piece of a tank.
