Gorgonians lighting

[steelgluer]

How much light do they need? Thanks

All depends on genus/species. Do you have a name of it or picture?

Yeah, what kind do you have? Some are photosynthetic, and some aren't.

ENCRUSTING GORGONIA
Purple Frilly Gorgonia
Orange Tree Gorgonia
Ball Sponge

The incrusting needs really strong light, the others, moderate light and all 4 need strong current, well estabished tank for filter feeders.

Thanks very much

the sponge does not need any light.

 

[dogstar]

Your right, I didnt mean to imply that it needs medium light but that it can do fine in it as long as algea is not allowed to build up on it, same with the gorgs as well. thats another reason why all need good current and sponges need to be dusted off periodicly anyway.
Not much reason to have one if its not lit up to see it I think. Ball sponges are generally pretty hardy placed lower in reef tanks if the owner take care of them properly. Thats sort of why I mentioned the established tank part. Sorry I wasnt clear on that.

 

[celacanthr]

Yeah, I kinda guessed that is what you meant, just wanted to clarify.
