I don't have personal experience caring for them, but I have read that they can be tricky to care for, depending on the type.

Hopefully, some members will jump in and share some of their real-life experiences with them. Tidal Gardens also has a great video on them that I watched a while back!

He’s a gorgonian, be careful! Its polyps look a bit pale so I don’t think it’s a photosynthetic species. I would love a closer image of the polyps to be sure though. If it is a non-photosynthetic gorgonian you’ll have to feed it coral food a lot.
