sun coral and dendro?

[Shrimpster]

Is red sun coral the same thing as dendrophyllia, the kinda orange expensive stuff.

No

sun corals and dendrophyllias are in the same family and almost look alive. Sun corals are smaller than dendros and also usually open up at night while dendros are like giant sun corals and open up all day.

Go back like 1 page or more in the lps forum and there is a large dendro thread.

Red suncorals seem to be very very rare or a myth. And Dendros seem to be popping up a lil more now on a few websites.
