I can see it peeking out! Crazy how they just pop once the lights go out. I think you might have success with it opening more during daylight there. Keep us informed as Carole and I have become addicted to all things dendro! We have a balanaphyllia coming in this week which will make a very nice addition to my nano, which is going all acros and dendros.
 
Update: I had to move in a different postion for some reason the skin started getting white on the top see second picture. Since I moved it again last week it's gotten better and the color started changing to red again, not sure what it is, but this picture is a couple of days ago with the lights on :) Also I see a bump to the right, maybe it's a baby.
How ofter do they need to be fed, I've been doing 3 - 4 days a piece of raw shrimp.

I feed mine every night. The large one can down 1/2 of a lance fish!!! The more you feed, the faster they'll grow.
 
I don't spot feed any of my corals but the dendro. Not even my acan lords. I read about bubble corals that they should not be fed all the time or too often big chunks, that sometimes the food just goes bad inside. Not sure if applies for all the LPS, now my clowns feed the torch almost every day, flakes, shrimp and everything I pretty much put in there and the coral looks fine.
 
I hate you. Mine got stung by a frogspawn bomb and just expired slowly over time :( now its a very weird thin looking skeleton.

Sorry about your dendro, you could attach some zoas to it.

Now how do I feed those little ones, I guess wait until they grow.
 
You will like the ORA one from SITC :) Be careful because I saw Craigs come unglued before they sent him home with it and mine came unglued for no apparent reason in my tank. Woke up to find it drifting around. (I almost typed driving for some reason???)

I ended up regluing mine and it looks like its doing fine.. I lost a paly to unglueing too.. They might need me to come in and start gluing the frags- may glue my fingers shut too but at least the dern things stay on the plug! hehehe
 
Yes, the duncans are very slimey and take some time to encrust over, so they need to be kept in a low flow area for a while until it gets settled.

Yikes, I've heard about your gluing skills...!
 
Mine has not come unglued again, though. It has stayed very well since being put in my tank. I keep my duncans in a little corner(except for a couple in different areas) that they seem to love and have taken over. The ORA is doing nicely and looks great, but I still love my RMW's.
