Red gorgonian or Red ball sponge?????

[jden092901]

Would a red gorgonian or red ball sponge work in a 10 gallon?

I would say no to the gorgonian since they tend to grow rather tall. It might be difficult to find one short enough to keep in that sized tank.
Also it depends alot how much flow, most gorgonians need a good amount of flow, sponges... not so much.

So a sponge would be ok then?

depends how big of a sponge, they are a filter feeder and will not survive without planktonic food, in a 10 g I wouldnt get a ball sponge bigger than half dollar size, any bigger and you may not have enough natural plankton to support it.
