My new Dendrophyllia fistula

[Mathfreak71]

My wife just bought this for me for Valentine's day!

I recently have really become enthralled with sun corals and dendros. I have a yellow and a black sun coral but she got me this dendro and a new orange sun. I will try and get pictures with them open.

Thanks BlueZoo!

Well,

The new orange sun coral opened partially and it ate mysis. The dendro almost opened but hasn't yet opened. Hopefully, I can get some pictures in the next day or two but I am horrible at it.

Again, I have to give credit to BlueZooAquatics.com. My wife was placing the order on Wednesday to have it delivered on Friday. She was buying the dendro for me but added the sun coral just to reach the free shipping. Within a couple of hours, she received a call that said they had just gotten a shipment of orange sun corals from the Solomon Islands that day and if we could take the shipment on Thursday they pick us out a really nice one and ship it that day. I think she paid less than $40 for it and it has at least 40 polyps. This is the 3rd or 4th order with them and I couldn't be more pleased.

Well, it has been 72 hours since I put it in the tank and it still hasn't fully opened. It has opened enough that I have been able to feed the large heads with some PE mysis. So, I am not worried about it dying but I am impatient because I wish I could see it fully opened. The orange sun coral I also received has opened after lights went out and I feed it well. So I just have to work with it to get it to open more.

Here are some pics of the new orange sun coral. Again I apologize for the bad pictures I just can't seem to get the hang of taking pictures.
