Dendro help

[declanisadog]

My dendro is eating a snail!! Should I try to remove it from its mouth, or let it play out?

Iv got nothing for ya . My issue is usually getting mine to eat.
I guess it was gaping its mouth open and the snail got to close and slipped in ??
Iv never even seen a snail on mine.
If it was mine and I could grab it with tweezers I would.
Good luck , let me know how it turns out

Too late...no more snail. Mouth is closed and polyps are extended so I'm not too worried.

I was really worried about my brain coral eatng a bunch of larger grain sand once after i turned my powerhead up way too high. It expelled it all

You have a happy Dendro !!
I wish mine would cheer up it hasn't extended more than 20-25% of its polyp's since tha incident with the phosguard.
Iv been shooting reef snow and aminos down its mouth 3x a week I tried putting mysis in its mouth , nothing gets a reaction , but its faired this long I think it will pull through.

Haha...maybe I can train a clownfish to do it. My female loves knocking snails off the glass, shouldn't be too hard.

In my experience dendro a are pretty dang hardy. I'm sure it'll come around eventually. When I first got mine it didn't open for a month or so.

It started to spit it out but then changed its mind. You can kind of still see it under the flesh.

Yes, they grow fast .

 

[declanisadog]

That's what I figured. They're actually about 8 or so inches away. The angle of the pic is just kind of weird

Good picture

 

[declanisadog]

Thanks. You can see there's about four more of those stupid tiny snails on the ledge above just waiting to be the next meal...
