Hope you are prepared to feed your seafans and dendronepthea...

yeap just as terry said they're not photosynthetic and will need all their food from supplementary feedings from you. having said that you may want to read up this thread by advanced aquarist on nps

they are in the flow of food, catching frozen dapnia, brine shrimp, mysis and cyclopee to eat.

Hello, how do you check the sex of mandrian? by thier lenght of fin? what if a particular mandrian has a short fin than normal?

These foods are no going to work for the dendronepthyea and seafan, they are too big for them... The blueberry seafan still might be able to sustain on cyclopeeze.. But the dendro will not.. It will require finer food such as FaunaMarin food or Reef Pearls and also the frequency of the feeding plays a big part..

Thanks for the reminder. Been feeding the 5 in 1 coral food and snowflake daily. Also with the ATS system, it should helps too.

it may help sustain awhile but for now i'm not too sure.

just a note if you're feeding that heavily daily without a skimmer you need to keep an eye on your water quality

ATS? Algae scrubber???

I am not sure what is the content in the 5 in 1 coral food and snowflake.. Not saying that they are no good but it is not proven that they are able to sustain these NPS.. The main diet of Dendronepthea is still micro organisms, although some will say what ever that you can see floating in the water column is too big for the dendro... LOL... Hope it will do well with your food and do read up on the foods that I recommend at least you know what to get if you sense something wrong with the dendro...

ATS = Algae Tuft Scrubber.

Noted your concern, will monitor closely. Thanks.

is that the 'monti' it is perching on? from the picture doesn't really seem like a monti to me. more of something like a Leptoseris
