Blue gorgonian sea fan.

[NanoReeferLancashire]

Hi all.

Was sold a gorgonian sea fan as above, for just £10. I was given it cheap as it had a bit of die back.

I've put it in a moderate to high flow area and hoping it can recover.

I feed reef roads, k coral, reef snow and other fish foods frozen and dried.

Are there any tips or advice how I might help this little guy?

Many thanks in advance.

The first pic is this morning it's not open as much as yesterday.

Second pic was taken yesterday.

Been in tank since Saturday.

Looks a lot more like a yellow finger gorgonian. These aren't sps they are NPS. Low light, moderate flow. Continue feeding foods for filter feeders a couple times a week.

No worries I could be off on the exact type of gorgonian. I wouldn't stress about the polyps too much though. Some of them really only open up at night.
