Dendros are strictly non-photosynthetic. They get all of their nutrition from food captured by the polyps.

I noticed when I had mine that the higher flow meant it got more food from the water column on its own...which meant if I forgot to feed it occasionally, no big deal. 
 
They are non-photosynthetic, so light isn't a direct factor.  However, lower light areas may mean less chance of nuisance algaes to bother the coral.  (This *really* comes into play for sensitive NPS coral like gorgonias).  IMO, chose a spot that is easiest for you to feed the coral.

Mine does better with more light and flow, I had it in a low light area and it did alright but when I moved it to a place right under my t-5's and just off of  the metal  halide and it took off. It went from three heads to around 12 in just 3 -months!]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 22:28:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49147&PID=417266&title=dendrophyllia-question#417266 <![CDATA[Dendrophyllia Question : I have three dendros and they...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49147&PID=417263&title=dendrophyllia-question#417263 Author: ptronsp

I have three dendros and they would not come out. After talking to a friend he suggested putting them in a higher flow area and they are doing great now, always out. I never feed them directly and they do well. They are under stock lighting in my RSM.
 Sun corals on the other hand require hand feedings, but I have not had too with my dendros.

No light required. Medium to high (but not constant direct) flow. Feed at least once a week. More often is better. I had my piece up high for about a year but moved it down to a shady cave area where nothing else grows. There are times I will feed mine every day for weeks. Sometimes I forget to feed for weeks (not recommended). Do you have any pictures?]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 19:11:56 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49147&PID=417247&title=dendrophyllia-question#417247 <![CDATA[Dendrophyllia Question : What are ideal light and flow...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49147&PID=417232&title=dendrophyllia-question#417232 Author: loakie11

What are ideal light and flow conditions for a yellow dendrophyllia?]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 17:50:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49147&PID=417232&title=dendrophyllia-question#417232
