I have been feeding my 2 colonies of dendros mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. Over the 2 years of keeping, I have noticed the change from orange to yellow. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem. If so, what can I do or try to feed to keep them as happy as they were when I purchaced them!
What to feed dendrophyllia?

I know what you mean. I feed mine pemysis and cyclopeeze very heavy. They have grown new heads and seem healthy and happy but the color has changed.
When i 1st got them, they were much more orange and now are more yellow. The lighting is a little different but you can clearly see the difference from when i got them until now, not nearly as bright orange.

That is exactly how mine started and look like now. I wonder if anyone else has had the same thing,and if so, what they use to feed?I know alot of people have them but were they able to keep them the bright orange color?If anyone has been able to please let me know so I can bring them back to their beautiful color!!

Mine have kept their orange color. I feed them Hikari mysis mixed with cyclopeeze.
Bad pic, you can see.

I don't know if this is relevant or not. Mine keeps the same color; however, I have it in the sump where there is no light. Been feeding it mysis shrimps, cyclopeeze, formula 1 + II. Basically, the food I feed my corals and fishes mixed together in a bowl.
Side note for Chris (143gadgets): I am thinking of getting the Nikon D40 tomorrow (can't afford the D300. That's insane). Can I use my lenses from the Nikon N70 on this D40 body? TIA.

You guys are bleaching it with to much light imo.
Try sticking it under an over hang that might help
good luck

very nice dendros, have a question, do they stay open during the day time? I still have not been able to get mine to open during the day time, I have them for a little over a year and I just put them in the sump on a reverse schedule and see what happens, they are opening more when the lights are on, also a lot easier to feed them. Mine still orange with yellow mouth.

I have had mine and they are a nice orange color i had them for about a year, i feed Mysis mixed with cyclops and coral frenzy. I also keep mine in a small daughter tank with regular 50/50 fluorescents. (30 some watts each)
