Lacking symbiotic algae entirely, it gains no benefit from lighting and instead depends on strong, constant current to deliver a steady supply of plankton. For AA03 to thrive, the aquarium must replicate this: a shaded location with powerful, unbroken flow. Even under ideal conditions, Dendronephthya remains notoriously difficult to maintain over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructurally, AA03 is a tree-like colony built around internal spicules, with translucent branches carrying dense clusters of polyps in red, pink, orange and white tones. In a healthy state, the polyps extend fully, producing a striking, colourful display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232764510499,"sku":"BA8185","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/carnation-tree-coral-aa03-dendronephthya-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
