Is it worth it?

I'm in the process of putting together a dwarf seahorse tank and thought about putting a sea fan in there. Rather then putting just dead one for them to hold on to, I thought a live one would look nicer, but it's in a 2.5g tank. How would I design a continuous feeding system for such a small tank and be able to keep the params in check? I'm new to the continuous feeding thing so any help would be appreciated. There wouldn't be a super strong flow in it as it would blow around the ponies. I thought about doing a blueberry sea fan. Thanks for any help!

You will not see any success. That is way to small a tank. plus the seahorses will hinder the gorgonian from extending its polyps to feed. Also they will rub off the flesh of the gorgonian until it withers away. Also, have you ever kept NPS corals before. Gorgonians are challenging animals and the blueberry gorg is notorious for being all but impossible to keep long term. even though its polyps are larger than many other gorgonians we are still missing something in regards to their care. I would advise against this and try to setup a dedicated tank for azoox corals if you are determined to keep them.

I've kept some black sun corals and an orange sun coral. Just checking to see if it would be possible. I've got no room for another tank so I'm good on that, although if I decide to go a different direction with one of my tanks so I'll think about it.
