Yellow Gorgonian and Red Gorgonian

[KUDA]

I think this is where I am supposed to post this. Has anyone ever been successful keeping either of these long term? What do you feed them and how often should you feed them?

Kuda,

could you take a picture of the gorgonian?

I keep over 10 different gorgonians and all of them need food to survive.

I feed the gogonian with TIMO food1 and food3.
This is a product for feeding corals and small fish.

I have tested many different products in the last four years and this is in my opinion at the moment the best of all.

It comes from Germany. I think this is a little problem for you.

If you add coral food to your tank is that good enough or do you need to target feed these puppies? I have one single purple gorgonian frag stuck in my sand and I have not been target feeding him...

for food I have coral frenzy, live phytoplankton, and frozen cyclopeeze. Which of these would be the best (or all 3?)

I feed the tank with full streaming.

All of the gorgonians catch particals of this food. (TIMO food1 it´s a kind of artificial plancton)

In addition to the dry dustfood get a lot of small frozen foot in to the tank. (cyclopeeze, birne shrimp, lobster eggs and so on)

The biggest problem with the keeping is which particlesize can catch the animal.

I have many other pictures from non-photosynthesic in another forum. It´s in german

Here is the other one.

I haven't gotten any yet, but I like the look of these two. Thanks for the info.

My opinion is, this both gorgonians ( Diodogorgia sp. red and yellow) are some of the easy to keep non-photosynthetic gorgonians.

Another easy to keep gorgonian is the Swiftia sp. look at this picture.
