happityLogan: post, please, how it will do solely on phytoplankron. Just curious, usually zooplankton or its substitutes are used for a corals' feeding.

Its doing fine as of now, I've only had it a week though, I may look into getting some zooplankton...my lfs has had this piece for a couple weeks, and all they feed it was chromaplex. They suggested I get that, its just a higher better grade of phytoplankton, but I will keep you updated...

If it is deteriorating, how long will it take to show signs?

My Muriceopsis flavida does very well with phytoplankton. Although my advantage is that its a photosynthetic species of gorg, I have increased its growth rate by spot feeding, and the most significant growth has been seen using phyto.

I LOVE...Swiftia kofoidi gorgs but I have never seen any for sale anywhere. Do you have any idea where to buy them? My apprehensiveness to them would be because they are non photosynthetic but... I would like to try.

Muriceopsis flavida is photosynthetic, diodogorgia - non-photosynthetic.

Time to decline for Diodogorgia nodulifera: hard to say, I had decline only once, when they were kept for a 1 - 1.5 month in a low flow with once a day feeding. If your flow is good, it may be much longer.
Signs: skin loses glossy appearance, then becomes looking rough. Central core is likely partially dead this time. Photos for red morph of Diodogorgia are here.
My yellow morph looks skinny all the time, but grows new branches.

saltn00b:
If you wish, take a look at Plexaurella grandiflora, Plexaurella dichotome and Pseudoplexaura at Image Search, if they look like yours. Don't have them, though.
