Gorgonians in any of your tanks? thinking about adding some...

hey how well do they do in the home aquarium? do they add a nice site and do the pulps extend alot? they look really cool...I hear these are what baby sea horses hitch to?
thanks for the info pics would be awesome!

i have a purple gorgonian, which i have fragged 3 times. very easy to frag.) the purple are photosynthicis(sp?) and are easy to keep. i've read that the non-photos. ones can be harder to keep. i have mine under pc lighting.

it's the one in middle of tank on the sand. if you already know this,sorry. i've fraged the two branches on the left to keep it from other corals. i have seen it put out it's stinging tread like strands.

wow that sure gets big, and its photosynthetic? maybe i should get the orange non photosynthetic ones because I don't want it to take over my tank and I have a 400 watt MH on a 40gal

it was big when i got it. it grows very slow, and is very easy to frag when it gets to big
