Blueberry gorgonia

My LFS has ordered a blueberry gorgonia. He is picking it up tomorrow. It seems no matter how much research I do, I never get all the right info so I figured I would ask you all here. I have a 12 gal. aquapod. It's been set up for 6 months. I wanted to put something tall in my right corner of my tank. IT's a little bald so I figured I'd try the gorgonia. I read it's a filter feeder and needs good water flow, it does good with any lighting and is good for a beginner.
Here is a picture of my tank. I was wondering if on the right side, by my nozzel thing would be alright for it?

Thanks!!

More than a filter feeder, they need direct feedings on a regular basis. So does your sun coral..each polyp must be fed individually. I fear all this food going into such a small tank may cause some problems in the future. Blueberry gorgonian is not easy to care for. Here's mine...{before my puffer ate it :mad: } I have been looking for another to put in my other tank..they look like little bonsai trees.

Absolutely beautiful!!!
One of my favorites, but tough to keep if you are not going to feed each polyp. In a small tank the food (quantity) could be a problem and in a large tank its a pain to reach them to feed properly.

Its a shame too because they really are stunning!
