I do! have had them in the past. most from KP but a nice big show peace from TBS.

setting up 2 new tanks after a quick out of the hobby for a few months. the RS 300 XL will be gorgs softies and maco for the seahorses. so excited!

I remember that you have been thinking of seahorses for a long time. Gorgs, macros and softies are perfect for a seahorse tank.

Thanks, just ordered three. Spiny, Purple candelabra, and Purple plume.

I have gotten some really nice gorgs from GCE. I just ordered one from KPA myself because I wanted more feather dusters and KPA had some. Plus I got cheato too. I have a multitude of macroalgae but did not have cheato, LOL.

When I changed my tanks, I changed my system. I was keeping over 12+ species of gorgs at the time. Here are some old pictures.

Wow, that is a lot of gorgs! That was a nice tank. Did you sell or give away the gorgs?

Actually some yes, others did not make the transition. It was a hard one. What I thought would be 1 week in temporary housing ended up 4+ weeks and they did not handle it well. I fragged and gave away what was left. Very sad time for me. The whole transition was a nightmare.

That happened to me once when I tried to relocate feather dusters. Most of them did not make it. It is hard and sad.
