"walking dendro"

I think they are awesome, although I would be concerned about the peanut worm walking into another coral :)

 

There have been a lot of those on DD recently.

It is a peanut worm with a commensal coral that it carries around, they are uber cool! They carry both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic corals around (I think most of those on DD recently have been photosynthetic).

Yea, I was looking at them on DD and was really tempted, but reason prevailed since I really don't have the sand space available for one to move around without knocking everything else around.

Yeah, I haven't researched it very thoroughly (probably not much info out there available), but the ones I've seen for sale seem to be photosynthetic (more like a duncan than a dendro). There is a hole in the bottom of the coral where a peanut worm lives and helps carry it around.
