I'd take it back and get credit. Please don't take this as me just being mean a Gorgonian is a filter feeder and a 3 month tank doesn't have the live culture growing long enough in it to have any sort of plankton type creatures in it enough to feed a filter feeder plus your tank is so small it wouldn't be able to survive even if you fed it several times a day some sort of plankton foods it would just slowly die most likely.
Bring it back set the clock a year and learn up on anything before you buy. As for the fighting aggressive fish. It could be personalities of course but its also aided by being highly stressed out in a tank thats new and unable to handle the bio load being placed on it so suddenly.
Start slow, then read alot and then once you already know all the answers to what your about to do, think about doing it then maybe do it. Thats how reefing works, pushing through wont do anything but kill fish and waste time.
i dont think tht the gorgonian was purchased but wanted to know about them rather then an impulse buy.
