Octopus / Seafans / Gorgonians

[don1234]

May be a question for the more experienced hobbyist.....what are the thoughts of placing a single octopus in an aquarium with Seafans, Gorgonians and of course lots of live rock?

IMO they need expert care and are not reef compatible I would think you are looking at a min of 50 gallons with a tight fitting top
FYI again IMO the two corals you mentioned are also hard to keep in there own right

I don't think it is a good match either. If you want that look I would go with fake sea fan and gorgonians. They look decent and the attention will be drawn to the octopus anyways if he doesn't hide out all the time. IMO, it would look best just octopus, rock, and some macro algae.
