SLASH Coral Growing Contest: ORA Grube's Gorgonian

[Reeferhead]

Well mine doesn't look nearly as good as the last two. I rarely get polyp extension and I target feed oyster feast....

I'm stumped...

No need to feed this gorg, its highly photosynthetic and IME very adaptable. Are you having issues with any other corals in your tank?

Everything else in my tank is doing great. What kind of flow does everyone have theirs in?

 

[Chris Abbott]

I guess I would call it medium flow. It actually is placed in an area where it waves freely with the current in the tank but it's hard to get a photo of it in like that.

 

[Reeferhead]

I've kept it in high and low flow. Seems to do fine either way. Perhaps you have something picking on it?

high Flow mine seemed to just "fall over" but was still 100% open
i moved it to low flow and its standing up straight and still 100% open

same with mine... the only difference is that with high flow it rolls all over the substrate... lol

This contest ends at 12:59pm on 17APR2015 which is this coming Friday!!!

You're final picture must be posted before this time or I will use your latest picture posted before 17APR2015 as your final growth picture. I will compile the pictures to produce side-by-side shots with your official starting picture and then open it up for member voting on the slash.org members only forum.

Good Luck! Make those final pics count!

Here is mine. I'm sure he's not a winner, but after our January tank crash, I'm just lucky he is still alive.

Hard to get a good picture from where it is. The backside has alot of new growth, but nowhere close to what you guys have!
