My new challenge..

[Paolissimo]

I saw this at Pop coral and couldn't resist. I already fed it once, looks like it accepts reef roids.

what is it? a blueberry gorgonian?

 

[Paolissimo]

Yes it is, just realized I didn't write what it was..

 

[ValorG]

I just got one too, feeding it like 15 times a day. Did they have any other colorful gorgonians?

 

[Pop Corals]

Just put three new tanks up and thinking about having one dedicated to gorgs. Seeing shots like the one above makes the decision easier. Glad its fitting in well and looks terrific!

Awesome looking coral. I need to get one next time I am around pop corals. Are they difficult to keep?

 

[cmantis]

Some are photosynthetic others are not and have to be fed. So it really depends which you get. I have one I can give you a frag of if you want to try (photosynthetic). I would actually appreciate it since my tank is a bit neglected and this way you have a backup just in case something happens.

The photosynthetic gorgs are moderately tough to keep. The non-photosynthetic are extremely difficult to sustain long term. I'm not saying impossible, but they are definitely very tough to sustain.

 

[Paolissimo]

Non Photosynthetic gorgs are supposedly tough because the food requirements. I have a photosynthetic gorgonia from Reef Gen (Tracy Morgonian Gorgonian,yep that's the name)that is doing great. It started as frag and now it's to 5" long. The Blueberry Gorgonia is much better in person (my android photo skills are not great)very healthy and the polyps are always open. I fed it twice so far.

I didn't see any other Gorgonias, but John looks like might want to start something..lol Valor keep me posted how yours is doing. What do you feed it?

 

[Clown guru]

Where is the chalice or did you meant the gorgonian?

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

I have had that blueberry one and the golden one but they proved to be more than I wanted to tolerate but I have the brown morgonian that was 1 piece and now it's six long strands , and I have a purple one both photosynthetic , look Realy nice.

 

[Paolissimo]

Ohhh man saltwater don't discourage me!!! I know it's a challenge, but hopefully I'll be up to it. I fed the fish today brine shrimps, and the blueberry grabbed what ever floated into its branches, so it does try to eat. Clown guru we are talking about a Gorgonia.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

No by all means don't be discouraged at all , I have 3 kids lol I failed to keep up not the gorg lol and by the way , you sold me a brown stag that refuses to stop growing lol

 

[ValorG]

Right now coral frenzy, waiting on golden pearls to come in.

....so a little update..I had to move my blueberry gorgonia because my Anemone decided to park itself by the gorgonia. It's been there for two days I was hoping it would move but unfortunately it didn't. Honestly it didn't look like the anemone was stinging the gorgonia, but I decided to move it anyway.
