Do I need to feed each Dendro Polyp?

[ishmael]

I just got a Dendro colony with five polyps. Is it necessary to feed each polyp or does the entire colony benefit from the feeding of an individual?

For long term success I would feed each polyp.

Agreed with Mike. I don't make sure that 100% of them get fed every time, but I give it a good shot to do so, and I feed every other day... in other words every polyp gets fed every few days and mine grow pretty quick.

Thanks fellas!

Someone on here told me I only needed to feed my sun coral twice/wk. It started to recede so I went back to everyother day and there are new polyps everyday! I guarantee I don't get every polyp everytime because the big ones stick out farther and they all seem to benefit.

So far I have been feeding every three nites. Only three of the five polyps open and they take in food well. The others not so much. Still trying to figure out a way to get them to open during the day.

wuts the best method of feeding these guys? im using the top of a 2L soda bottle and put the food in there and cover the dendro as they eat

That'll work!

Use a turkey baster and target feed it works great!
