Dani3d Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi, I just got a very beautiful photosynthetic gorgonia ventalina and I was wondering if anyone have succes with these? Are you feeding it something? I know it's photosynthetic but I guess feeding it will help to make it grow faster? I put it about 12" from my 250 watt MH 14k with a good perpendicular linear flow. Anything else? Link to comment

Genj Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Nothing other than they are beautiful! Post a pic! Link to comment
Dani3d Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 yes they are very beautiful. I read that they lose their beautiful flat shape if they don't have proper flow? and with the polyps extended: Nothing other than they are beautiful! Post a pic! Link to comment

matt frizz Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 X2 on price, I would love to have these. Link to comment
Dani3d Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 I paid 40$ for it and it is aquacultured. I think it was a good deal Since it is photosynthetic I am hoping that it will grow well and that I will be able to do some frags eventualy. Link to comment
matt frizz Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 That's a great price for that size. It looks beautiful. Congrats on the purchase. Link to comment
Genj Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Wow, amazing. Thanks for the picture. If you feel up to it, take a FTS picture and post it! Link to comment
neuwave Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Totally, a great find. Where did you get it? Link to comment
Dani3d Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I got it here in Canada, in Montreal from a specialized coral shop. I bought it because they told me it was photosynthetic and they were right. Totally, a great find. Where did you get it? Wow, amazing. Thanks for the picture. If you feel up to it, take a FTS picture and post it! for the full tank shot (before the gorgonia though): http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=260689 Link to comment
FishStrings Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 As far as I know they mainly are filter feeders, not photosynthetic as much as many think. You can feed them oyster eggs. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I feed mine rotifers and BBS. It seems to open p though when just about any small type foods are introduced. Link to comment
