Finger Gorg Placement

[ndnreefer]

Hey guys I have been contemplating adding a yellow or red finger gorgonian to my tank have not fully decided yet. I had an idea of adding it to a certain spot in my tank. I had a frag of the yellow finger gorg growing close that same area but was upright and it did and showed growth until the tank was relocated where it was damaged and never recovered.

I've added a FTS pic and circled the are of where I wanted to put it. I was thinking about hanging it upside down under the ledge where it would be in a strong flow area from a power head.

Let me know what you guys think

Can't say I ever hanged a gorg upside down but don't see any issue with it in theory. You may have some weird growth if it tries to grow upwards.

I was kind of hoping it would just grow outward maybe an angle would be interesting. Do they grow towards the light? The don't rely on any sort of lighting correct just filter feeding?

I'm waiting a smaller sized specimen to come through, all the ones have seen in the last 6 months have always been taller and wider than my hand.
