i got a yellow dendro from a friend about 2 months ago.. it never fully inflated when i got it into my tank. however it would eat whenever i put food near it. after a month of it being in my tank.. it started to fall apart in the mouth area.. i totally freaked out! i left it alone hoping the water current would cure the problem. it did not.. i started sucking out the mouth area.. that did not help. the mouth area turned into mucus.. i sucked it all out until it was skeleton.. the skin on the body slowly shed until a small amount was left. i was ready to chuck the coral but decided to let it be and later mount some other coral on it. a couple days ago, i saw these little bumps on the skin area.. its producing babies!!! hallelujah!
