How do i feed Yellow Finger Gorgonian? And if the white flowers come out is that ok or does that mean it it hungry?

That means they're feeding.

When I feed mine I pour the Plankton in the water flow near it.

I squirted the plankton onto the gorg when I saw the feeders out.

so if the white things are out that means i have to feed it

I would say that means it's looking for food.

I have had mine in my tank for 3 weeks-ish and have yet to see the "white polyp flowers"...do they come out in daylight or night? I do add Liquid Life Bio Plankton in it's area about every 3rd/4th day...the base of it is sitting about 3" off the bottom of my tank the top of it is about 10" off the bottom....should I rasie it up in the tank???
my mushrooms(Umbrella/ Green Ricordea/Striped Green Metallic/Blue) are beautiful in this lighting...full and open...
I have 120w(2-40w 10k/1-40w atinic) NO light 21" off bottom of tank and my water is: 60gal-0am-0rite-5rate-8.2ph-460calc-1.7-2.0 alk-temp 79

Most filter-feeding gorgonians need to be fed daily... multiple times per day is even better. I turn the flow off in my tank for about 15 minutes and use a syringe to spot feed the gorgonians. Just squirt it in a slow and steady pace right onto the little polyps.

I was told on here that if you don't see the polyps for a week or so then that means the gorg is dead. IDK if that is accurate though.

I bought it from this site and have NEVER seen them.....if this is true how do I tell if it was shipped dead or if it died in my tank????I will be pissed if it was sent to me dead or died in transit since I am past my "guarentee" date....
This sceniro is the reason I don't like buying stuff like this online....fish you can tell if they are alive or dead when they arrive....corals like this you can't....the mushrooms I bought that came in the same shipment are doing GREAT I will post some pics soon (as I just got my new camera)
I hope he isn't dead....
