Post Ur Gorgonians Here

[jj_harrison]

here is mine, the day I put it in my tank. How will you know when its unhappy with your tank? since i put it in mine has every pollop open that it can prety much all day. I feed the coral life phytoplankton and it seams to like it, theres a big PH by it so every thing gets sucked right to it.
I need to take a new pic with it all open

Mr. crab is gittin bigger and bigger everyday.
I saw Mr. crab came and picked on the polyps twice.
I don't think he intentionally tried to eat the polyps.
Just that he wanted to eat some of the algae grows on the Gorg.
One time, he found out that I feed my Gorg with Cyclopeez and so he now wants to grab the polyps assuming the polyps carry Cyclopeez with them.

i dont have an emerald crab because of their reputation to be slghty agressive towards fish swimming by, but i do think threre really cool!!

Only well mature reef tanks can provide Gorg a good home.
Gorg. is a coral. It needs all trace elements like corals.
I don't think it's a good idea to have a Gorg. in FOWLR.
I have Flame Angle in my reef tank.
It is not reef safe. Mine picks on quite a few things in my reef tank, but it leaves my Gorg. alone.

yeah, thats a candy cane (caulestrea furcata). It gets pulverized frozen supplements along with a zoo, phyo, chroma, micrevert mix that it reaches for whenever I dose the tank. I target tehm regularly too. I have even seen them eat almost whole krill, crazy to watch, but they can do it. It has doubled in size in the past year and polyps too. Someof them even tripled. Ihave a couple small frags from the uderside I thought might enjoy a little more light and give the bigger ones more room.
