I LOVE the spiral gorgonian! Saw it in Chingchai's and loved it.

I've done pretty good with them. You have some nice ones there. Any feeding and care tips for us? What works best for you?

I doubt I will be getting any others than what I already have. These tend to be on the easier side of NPS but I dont want to go full out because that is A LOT of constant feeding.

But for now I feed mainly golden pearls brand zooplankton replacement anywhere from 100 microns to 800 microns, cyclopeeze, and PE mysis. I dont necessarily spot feed but I do try to get the food up-current so that they can catch it. Usually feed 2-3 times a day. Also I am looking to start up either a rotifer or more likely a nauplii culture soon if anyone has experiences to add?

One thing I learned the hard way on the spiral wire was that the current must be hitting it perpendicular to the polyps. At first flow was parallel to the polyps and the health of it declined. After I turned it 90 degrees it started feeding again and the health drastically improved.

I also have been having the best success with Minabea alderslade. Actually growing and have even been able to successfully propagate it!
