SRC Member patrick123 Posted October 5, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 5, 2004 I just bought this recently. I believe it is called Carnation Tree Coral (Dendronephthya sp.). Read from website that it is very difficult to keep and for expert only. Not sure if anyone has tried it and any success story or secret as to how to keep this coral healthy? Thanks, Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
