Product Description:
Qty: 1 Gorgonian (Red or Yellow)
The Red and Yellow Finger Gorgonian also known as the Finger Sea Fan grows in South Florida and the Caribbean. The polyps of this gorgonian are white and are usually only seen during the nighttime when the aquarium's lights are off. This gorgonian is non-photosynthetic and makes a great addition to any reef or Seahorse aquarium.
The Red or Yellow Finger Gorgonian is peaceful, but it should be given adequate space away from neighboring corals or anemones. It is more challenging to maintain this species because they are non-photosynthetic and they require supplemental feeding several times per week.
In order to inhibit algae and cyanobacteria growth, it is important that this gorgonian is provided with a medium to strong, constant or intermittent water flow. If in the event that it does begin to become covered with algae or cyanobacteria, remove it from the coral immediately, as this will cause rapid tissue deterioration. Algae can be removed gently with the use of a soft brush; combat cyanobacteria by soaking the coral in freshwater of the same temperature for approximately 1 minute. These corals will also benefit from the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.
The Red or Yellow Finger Gorgonian should be fed a few times a week with a filter feeding food. Provide a varied diet of live or frozen baby brine shrimp, Marine Snow, Phytoplankton and other suitable micro foods.

Lots of outside factors that we cannot control go into the success or failure of keeping livestock healthy. We are here to help but are not liable after you have received the livestock alive.
Do your plants have snails?
We try not to have snails/pests, but it happens, we remove any visible imperfections before shipment however to be 100% certain we suggest that you either do a 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip and/or wash the plants. Anytime you add something new to an aquarium it is important to rinse it off before adding just to be safe.
