yota924x4 Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 hello there, i have recently purchased a red finger gorgonian at the lfs last week and it has not opened except for a single polyp every few hours. i have hope for it atleast being alive since it was fully opened at the lfs and all of my other inhabitants are all out in full force. i have read various waterflow requirements about this particular creature and none of them say exactly the same thing most say med-high flow. now is it possible that this thing only opens at night or is it too late? is the lighting too intense? 4.1 watts per gallon@6700k 10k and of course actinic blue any suggestions would be appreciated thanks!

yota924x4 Posted September 9, 2002 Author Share Posted September 9, 2002 i blasted it with a canister filter for 30 mins and its opening....but its just so much flow that everything else in the tank closes. it seems to have built up a waxy coating on it and when i hit it with ridiculous flow it blew it off Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 did my advice help? try the sea food puree over it... it should elict a feeding response.. also vary the current a little over it. Link to comment
