The best thing I can say is feed them. I had mine under a 250 watt hqi and they started to spread.
Please, share experience: what kind of gorgonian, what kind of tank (picture too), how much do you feed, how the water is cleaned from excess of the food, how the new growth looks like (picture too, please)?
Mine is non-photosynthetic kind, Diodogorgia nodulifera, red finger gorgonian, the new growth is very well seen at the base, spreads on the underlying stone in encrusting manner. Tank is basic low light community reef, standard Nano-cube 6, 18W PC, 150 gph flow, occasional filtration with filter floss and micron pad, nitrates and phosphates (up to 40 and max 1 ppm respectively), lowering by water changes. Feeding - ZoPlan (for Chili mainly) 1x a day, dried Cyclop-Eeze 5-8 times a day to snowfall concentration, before ZoPlan was water from defreezing mysis(1/2 cube per tank). No skimming yet.

www.sealifeflorida.com gorgs are really nice I ordered three from there and they were all huge 10'' plus they grow really fast too, if u buy the photosynthetic ones. My favorite is the purple plume gorgonian. They also have really cheap shipping, I think it like $20 or something.
