You must be doing something right, because, Garf say's that the need to be fed twice a week. Garf has a recipe on their website that they use to feed their gorgonian's.
The yellow finger gorgonian's are one of the easiest gorgonian's to feed because they have really large polyp's and therefore since you haven't been feeding it, the gorgonian may be picking up loose piece's of fish food or brine shrimp (if you feed brine shrimp).
I'll e-mail you the link to Garf if you give me your e-mail.

ya know what, im glad youve said something about this. Ive had them for about 2 months and ive noticed the onces on the left side of the tank (pics 4 and 5) are starting to die. I was never really givin any instruiction on how to feed them, i just squirt some Kents PhytoPlex in there once every other day. The polips ive noticed come out very rarely..mainly after water changes.
I will email you for a link to that site on how to take care of these things, im really interested in these, i like em a lot and dont want to loose them :)

<EDIT> Danielle:, i cannot seem to send you a message of any sort, please email me a link to the site you were talking about above at the address below
Thanks!

Sorry about that, and no problem. Glad I could help.

i think theres about 40 or so snails in there...they are all mostly hard to notice unless you are looking for them....they just kinda blend in.
Tank has been up and running since about October of 2000, so about 7 months.

Gorgians are not for beginners, when I went back and looked again I could see that they are dying(branches are showing skeleton).
The dying anemones and frogspawns is a symptom of things to come Im sorry to say, you probably don't have enough lighting to keep them alive for the long term.
What are the water parameters(Salinity, Alk. calcium and phosphates)?
