What kind of Gorgonian is it? Photosynthetic or Non-Photosynthetic?
Photosynthetic mainly rely on light to grow, but always would appreciate a supplemental feeding, and Reef Chili rocks for that.
If it is Non-Photosynthetic, it will rely on you for all it's feedings. You need to make sure you feed it quite often. Reef Chili again is perfect for this, but there are other foods too you can use. You can do some research about that in the NPS section of these forums.
Either way, Reef Chili is great. Just be sure as with any foods you watch your parameters and are not polluting your system over time. I use it a couple times a week on my system and have no problems. I used to use it daily on a system I had with many more Gorgs than I have now, and I had to do more water changes, but it was well worth it for the polyp extension.
Hope that helps!

I use both Reef Chili and Bene-Reef. I kind of like the Bene-Reef more because not only is is great for corals, but my fish love it too, and it is the absolute best for sandsifters of every kind. Kind of clouds up the tank for a couple hours but then it settles and anything that eats off the sand bed or rocks for microfoods (Gobies, blennies, Mandarins, starfish, etc.) benefit greatly.
