Thanks! It is a Purple Brush Gorgonian.

Nice 1, hard to keep? Do you have to target feed them?

 

[Western_reefer]

Thanks, Umm... no, they are very easy to care for. Nope, you don't have to target feed them. They get alot of their food from the light. This gorgonian need lots of light to thrive.

well actually some gorgonians aren't photosynthetic so i would make sure that your uses light or you will just have an expensive stick in your tank soon

I got this gorgonian from another reefer. So, it is defiantly a photosynthetic gorgonian.

Thanks! They are doing totally fine. I add around 10 ml of phytoplankton every week. I just add the phyto to the tank, I don't target the clams because you can do more harm than good.
