Dach Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I picked up this purple polyp white body gorgonian from an LFS last week and was wondering if someone can ID. I was told it was photosynthetic. Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I am not a specialist on gorgonian but I know that generally, brown polyp = photosynthetic. Quote Link to comment
billygoat Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 This is a silver bush gorgonian (Muricea laxa). It is photosynthetic, and enjoys strong flow and abundant light. Periodic feeding will encourage growth. 1 Quote Link to comment
