these are all photosynthetic... sorry I don't know the ID's but someone else here probably does

Thanks uhuru.
So they need to be fed also?
Or MH lighting will be enough?

 

[coltrref]

will a few images be able with more zoom?

 

[coltrref]

probably these gorgonias are Pseudopterogorgia (Azoox)
the colour: red, yellow, orange, brown, pink, violet and white

So they need to be fed also?

if, preferably all the gorgonias and more azoox must be fed continuously.

the majority of the gorgonias are in the low parts of the reefs, receiving not great light, from what after observing them, if it is necessary them change place.

Anyway,appreciate the help and input.

All corals will benefit from feeding, after all they are carnivorous animals (for the most part) and not just plants.

Hey uhuru,I agree with you.
Still,most of the corals (the photosythetic ones) can handle without any feeding,just light.
The question is if there is any Photosynthetic gorgonia the can thrive the same way,only by light?
