Sun corals require more maintenance because they aren't open and feeding as often. My dendros are open at least 80% of the time during the day. Whereas suncorals come out at night or after heavy feeding of the tank. Aside from that, the only difference is the dendros are 2-4 times the size of sun polyps (at least the ones I have seen).
agreed that they are hard to keep just cause of the backwards feeding regemin.
they can acclimate to "day time" feeding I have heard it done. I am sure it would take some time.....
I have kept them in the past and the best success i had with them is when I had a piece that was in pretty bad shape (too close to some acans and had some alleopathy happen) I put it in my sump and it did FANTASTIC!!!!
beautiful coral when they are open but the feeding routine makes them more tedious to be successful with them.
This is great. A cave and feeding after dark will not be a problem I have them in my saltwater "lagoon" so reaching them is not an issue. I'll just put them in a spot where I can feed them with a turkey baster.
I successfully fed my lil suns tonight. I put them in a flowerpot, stolen from my clowns, facing away from the light. They seem to like it there. Of course, I have them for only about 24 hours.
