Great job! Keep up the water quality!!!!!!!!!! It will bounce back.

Thanks, I'm sure its growth rate would be much slower with the daily feeding of frozen rotifers. :yes:

I recomend life brine naupulli shrimp. She will be so much happier
Raise them your self it will not only benefict the gorg. it'll make yopur tank inhabitans really happy! Put some on your tank and spot feed the gorg

The only reason I have not starting raising brine nauplii is because of a limited space issue. I still might shortly, been thinking about it real hard. For the time being the rotifers are working pretty well though. But nothing can substitute for live food.

Not to get off topic...but how do you get yours to stand up. Mine always falls over.

What you can't see is that mine is glued to a rock thats underneath the sand. Because mine had no tissue at the base I could just glue it to the rock. If your gorgonian does have tissue at the base the best way is to strip the tissue away then glue it to the rock. If you could drill a small whole in the rock before you glue it the odds of it coming loose are much less. Mine's secure enough where if the largest hermit crab crawls to the very top it won't come loose.
