yes it is a dendro, and yes i still have it, it grew four new heads roughly 4 months ago and bing in the lower light of the tank it developed lage amounts of coraline, here is a pic of when it was in its glory,

since then it is now on a reverse cycle opening only in the dark, some resent reserch on the net says that they can be ajusted over a period to a 400 watt MH. so recently i have slowly rased it higher in my tank to see it i can get it back onto the right path.

Lookin good! I love your rock 'scape!! That's great how you've kinda made a lagoon out since you have the corner to work with. That neon green Candy Cane rocks. I need to find me one. You should plan to either upgrade to a large tank or rehome the Hippo Tang though in the next year or two, it will get very big. This is your first saltwater tank? You're doing a great job! How old is the tank now?
