Having issues with my purple wip gorgonians polyps not opening. Seems algae and dinos are forming on body. Any advice?

Increase current a little ( with good current, nothing should stick to it). increase blues, decrease white a little and add .5ml peroxide to tank per 10 gals at night to reduce cyano ability to regenerate.

I read this guy's journey with a purple sea blade gorgonian last night. He went through a little problem of algae on his and conquered it. May be a good read of experience for ya.


Wish you luck with yours! Love these corals myself. :)
