Oh my god thxs soooooooo much!

sun coral
 

if your going into burnaby you can also check out king ed's on kingsway and edmonds

I think JL only has Dendrophylia (sp?) right now.
looks like a sun coral but comes out during the day not just at night.

ahhh right king ed's fanominal store! :D and j&l i'll try that today

Glad you think so. Filthy unorganized fire trap.

filthy unorganized fire trap?

LOL I would just give you some if you lived in Calgary.... I have a large amount of them growing in my tank......They are ok to look at

Corey ;)

lol ah :/ i totally wished i lived in calgary now!

Have you not been there? It's dirty and you can't even walk down some of the aisles. They've got cat leashes in with fish nets etc. Plus the livestock they bring in should'nt even be brought in unless special order. Alot of people say they should go "have a talk" about what some of the KNOWLEDGEABLE stores such as J&L bring in but never no mention of this store.

Unorganized it may be, but they have a lot of stuff and I've never seen anything abused in there. (well for a pet store anyway, yes a few fish housed in too small tank but a store is a store no one expects it to stay long.) Saltwater selection is always varied and they price better than J&L sometimes.
I find with saltwater fish they get more variety than J&L more frequently.
J&L gets a good variety but because they're a popular online store stock goes fast.

oh ya i know right? but still they have okay deals, but then again i feel srry for the fish

i was just at JL and they only have a bunch of dendros at $25 a head. no sun polyps.

and what with all the negative talk about king ed's... i understand its a mess but if you ask anyone who works there if they have a certain item, they will know exactly where it is. organized chaos, yeah. They are also the most fair place to make trades with. Robert is quite knowledgable down at king ed's and works with what he has. The people who own the place dont give him much of a budget to work with, so if you ask me he is trying his best. you try being in his shoes for a day.

i agree, i went to kind ed's today and the older guy there is very smart he knows all his corals and fish, but if you ask bout the seahorses he will give you a lecture on how no one should keep them and how there endangered but the lectures worth it, hes a very caring person!

Just my 2 cents: You'll grow to resent feeding them by hand every day... I did. They are beautiful, but I'll never have another. My girlfriend saw one here in Edmonton, and asked if we could get it... I laughed.

lol ya now im looking for a dendro because aparently there awesome and they look a lot like sun corals!

Are dendros just as hard to maintain (I mean the need for frequent feedings) as sun corals?

We bought a dendro from Oceanic Corals in Aldergrove - you should check there.

thxs, and are they easy?

Dendros
 

I have one in my tank and I just feed it fairly good sized chunks of whatever I'm feeding e.g. clams, silversides, bloodworms, squid etc. Its got a fairly large mouth since its quite large and it takes pretty much anything. The pic is my 29 gallon biocube.

2 words= your lucky

lol

Lots of dendros at J&L. $25 a polyp if IIRC.

Why are dendros so expensive?

I think it could be that they don't multiply very quickly (i.e. create a new head). Mine has just become bigger over time. I treat and feed it like a sea anemone and have had no problems. They add some nice colour to the tank and their sticky tentacles will also catch any food particles that pass by during feeding. I start by shutting down the power heads and filter and target feed it (as well as the acans) but it will continue to catch particles after I turn everything back on. Overall, I don't think feeding is that big an issue.:smile:

Mine is SUPER tiny in comparison, and we paid $15 for one polyp. But it eats very well (easy to feed), and is growing quite well.

how do you feed them?

feeding can be done with mysis or whatever meaty foods you use. just squirt it on them with a turkey baster or pipette.

i like using sinking pellet food. much easier and really hard to over feed with pellets.

what happens if you over feed?

It affects water quality.

oh ok thxs
