Some click to my reef…

I don't discuss about taste, because as we say in our country "˜everyone has his own'"¦, but to say that nothing grows in a mixed reef it is not true! Your affirmation could make me think to another saying typical of Italy: "˜Envy is an awful beast"¦'
I better agree to what rowjimmy answered you.

NeveroddoreveN,

What exactly is it that is not thriving in his tank? As I see it, this is a stand out beauty!

Hi,
I bought two beautiful gorgoniae, they are exactly the same only with different colors. You may see one of them in the picture below (red with yellow polyps) and the other is all yellow, but a light yellow.
As the seller couldn't tell me their scientific name, I am trying to find out how to classify them: for sure it is an NPS? Thanks everybody for any help!

Looks like Astrogoria sp.

I have the same gorgonian. Once it is fed enough it will look like this:

"Mixed reefs are terrible; they just make it so nothing thrives."

Really? Don't tell my animals: Luca, your tank looks amazing. Keep up the good work!

This is the last gorgonian arrived in my tank. It is different from the others, it is very heavy and not as flexible as the others. Could anyone help me finding out its scientific name? Thanks everybody for any help!

Luca_ ,
Looks to be an Echinomuricea.
