What Does My Dendron Want?

[Bongo Shrimp]

So I got a new huge and healthy dendronephthya this past weekend and it is a bit droopy. It inflates well and the polyps are open but is doesn't stand up like my kenya tree.

So I heard somewhere that they like to be upside-down. Which is better? Up or down?

Hi there

i think it depends in what kind of position it was in the sea or former tank.

greetings carlo

Well there's no way I could figure out how it was in the ocean and it was only at the store for 2 days.

So what should I do about this?

Is flow strong enough? I don't know if they have trouble "standing" if they're starved, but if the polyps are open and it inflates, I'd keep feeding it and give it time.

The flow is fine. It isn't being completely BLASTED but it gets a really good amount of pulsating flow. I'll take a pic of it later so you guys can see. And yeah, the polyps all open and it inflates especially well after the lights go off.

hi bongo

I think the same that glparr

time and he observes if they have no flow too much.
