People have been looking for these and i found a person selling them. These aren't mine, i'm just looking to help fellow reefers out that looking for these.

If you know of a better place with healthier specimens please share before i spend my money on bad dendros.

Likewise...



I know how they look closed....hence my comment.
You should have left the pics up...so others can judge for themselves.
They look dried out & there seems to be something wrong with the mouths.

The only one that looks decent, is the center head in the 1st pic.
That's how they look closed.

I know people are looking for them.
But if you want to pay $55 a head, just to have them....for wild caught specimens, that don't appear healthy...it is your choice.

Like you, "I'm just looking to help fellow reefers out."

Kind of like your comments on Deep's Blastos.

Algae is not on the dendro head, its underneath it where there is no dendro tissue.

Some of Deeps blastos were clearly receding that is why i made my comment. I understand what you are saying and since you own a dendro then you know better than i do. But based on all the pictures i've seen the ones that i offered look fine to me.

By no means am I a Dendro "expert."

Just sharing some advice.
Take it for what it's worth.
