I work for "so cal aquatic life service inc" we mostly do maintenance, we do have a couple holding tanks for special orders or (in this case) to hold animals that are no longer wanted or have outgrown their system. My boss says a lawyer friend of his told him they found a couple coral while evicting a former "pet store" so we took in the coral. Fortunately for me, no one in the shop has the time to feed nps coral so I was given these poor little dendros to try to save them. Here's a pic of them right after being rescued. I'm going to spot feed them in hopes that they will fully recover and grow back some flesh.

Walking dendro

Any tips and or suggestions are welcomed.

DO NOT feed them every day, they get a gut rot very quickly if you feed them too or much too often, they will do great if you feed every 3 days, and will regrow back, as far as for that white walking dendro a bit of feeding and patience it's actually photosynthetic . Just bleached out. Good luck.
