Non-photosynthetic gorgonians

[juaninsac]

Hello all,
I'm curious if anyone in the area is having success (noticeable growth, not just expansion) with non-photosynthetic corals, especially gorgonians. I'm trying to get my hands on as many frags of specimens that have proven to be aquarium suitable as possible.

Right now I'm feeding a mixture of phytoplankton, cyclop-eeze, live baby brine, microworms (Panagrellus sp.), daphnia, rotifers, capelin eggs, and algamax HUFA supplement. Any other suggestions?

Hmm. dunno looks like you got the food part covered.. It just depends on the size of the mouth of the polyps and what size food they can eat..

They never seem to last more than 6 months or a year. Sad.

They're not gorgonians, but I've got a few different kinds of dendros, balanos, tubastrea, a rhizo, and waratah anemones.
