  Special Requirements and Information:
Dendrophylliidae of all kinds are beautiful but sometimes difficult to keep. The Sun Polyps do not require lighting and therefore need places to hide from intense light. Keep them under a ledge if possible.
Feed anytime during the day. They love zooplankton as well as meaty foods. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid as long as they're chopped into small pieces. Using a turkey baster helps get the food to the animals.
The skeletal structure will grow in width and should be supplemented with calcium, strontium and iodine.
