Feeding A Gorgonian?

[Fretfreak13]

So, I'm getting my first Gorg tomorrow, a member in my club is fragging his for me. I was just wondering, how do they eat? I know you have to spot feed them, but I've never seen one in person and in pictures they dont look like they have mouths. It's a purple gorgonian, here's the pic of the mother colony.

Also, what do they eat? I spot feed everything my tank that eats, meaning even the fish eat out of a turkey baster. Can I spray it with Marine Cuizine? How often should I feed it?

That particular one is partially photosysthetic. I feed mine Fauna Marin products and cyclopeeze. They are growing well. Fauna makes a Clam Food and a Sea fan food that mine all feed on. I can see them capture the food. Good stuff.

Partially photosynthic is good. lol I hipe it eats waht I throw at it, I have no money to buy any other food at least until after christmas. Is that tube anenome in your avatar yours? It's AMAZING! I was thinking about adding the same one to my future mantis tank.

A lucky shot with a cheap point and shoot. My favorite picture! Thanks. You should be fine I have never had any problem keeping them.
