yellow gorgonian?

[Moonstream]

I am very fond of the yellow gorgonian with white polyps, and I was wondering what type of care they need? I would LOVE to get some for my tank (an established 20L soon to be 75g) and I do have a bottle of marine snow that I have had for a while, so any help would be appreciated. here is the species I was talking about:

I'd suggest getting something photosynthetic if you really want a Gorgonian. Even when feeding tiny foods that are supposed to be for corals such as this they will often slowly starve.

I agree. I tried keeping the same species and so did two of my buddies and they all just withered away and died over time. They are pretty, but so are some others that might be easier to keep alive.

okay, thanks, I will stay away from them if they tend to die. what are good photosynthis species to get?
