acclimating sea fan[emoji28]. Got hope lol
Yeah not sure liveaquaria recommends moderate to high lighting, but under NPS coral. Doesnt make sense to meHard to tell in the bag but to me it looks photosynthetic. Most of the photosynthetic gorgonia are not bad.
thanks for the tip on the tips haha[emoji6]They are finicky! I have 2 chunks of red gorgonian and a spiny sea rod that recently has started to take off. They seem to like when the water is "dirtier". Polyps are always extended around lights on/off.
Make sure you have them where the flow is not lateral or constant in one direction, as they will grow with a "lean" and can break off.
Reef roids, fuana marine sea fan food. Any of these, theirs more foods out there too. I hardwired Ehiem feeder to programmable dosing pump. Removed one head, use the 12v for feeder. Comes on once per hour at night. 6pm-5am. Also liquid foods 40ml same schedule. Reef nutrition phyto-feast. Red ones had 1 1/2mon. The white not great shape when i bought now coming back to life.Thats exciting! sweet gorgonians! What do you feed them? How often?
It's showtime!!!acclimatined, dipped and placed!
Whats your feeding methodI kept tons of gorgonia here is some older pictures..
Whats your feeding method
Sadly those seafans rarely make it. I have a reef with photosynthetic and a reef with nps. In the nps tank I feed phyto feast, roti feast, and oyster feast twice a day; reef caviar and artic pods once or twice a day; and reef chili and fauna marin ricordea once a day.
