Hey PH,

How long have you had that gorgonian, and what do you feed it? If I'm not mistaken, they aren't photosynthetic. I tried once before but unfortunately it only lasted about 3 weeks.

I got the gorgonian late December/Early january. It showed signs of significant growth when I had PC's. When I added halides, it was a slow death on from there. You are correct, they are not photosynthic. I fed the gorgonian 3-4x daily, consisting of Zooplankton, DT's phytoplankton, and other planktonic foods (I heavily blasted the gorgonian with the food). They are very beautiful gorgonians, but unfortunatly, these ones are best left in the wild.

Take Care,
Graham

and here's another gorgonia. This one is from the Red Sea Observatory, Israel.
Aside for the black frame and titles, it is untouched. The color is it's own...
