Details

The Walking Dendro is very new to the aquarium trade - only a few have every made it into the hobby so far. It resembles Whisker Corals (Dendrophyllia sp.) and Cup Corals (Balanophyllia sp.) but is actually a very different coral. The coral itself grows on one single head like the Cup Corals but is photosynthetic as opposed to the other two corals mentioned. It grows around a hole in its base where a worm species takes up residence. This worm gives the coral its "walking reputation" - as the worm moves around the tank, it takes the coral with it. The coral can however survive without its worm "transportation".
