Coral Of The Week : Gorgonians

[sorgan]

That Is Muriceopsis flavida I think, photosynthetic so easy(ish) to keep. Still would benifit from the odd feed

 

[crazycatfish]

I am doing regular feeds of phytogold and rotifers. Everything in the tank loves it so hopefully the gorg will be benefitting from it.

 

[sorgan]

I would imagine so a good rule of thumb Is that if the polyps are the same color as the flesh it's photosynthetic, if not the it's NPS.
This isnt always the case but it's servede well if on doubt just ask as I can usually (after some thinking time) ID them.

Here's my two gorgonians:

Angel Harp Gorgonian

Red and Yellow Polyp Gorgonian

 

[sorgan]

The harp is Ctenocella pectinata
And the second is Diodogorgia nodulifera I think.
