Devaji · Jan 9, 2017

@jsbull I hate your tank. makes me want to setup a SH tank so bad. been on my list for years now I almost went with one when I got back in 6 months ago. but decided on a reef.
I love gorsg to. can to name them? they look different than the ones i have. I have almost all the KP aquatics has. your PE on the (guessing) red finger gors I nice. mine only opened up one like that since I got it and now not doing so hot. :(
dont mean to highjack the thread from macros to gorgs...lol

There's a blueberry seafan: http://m.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+10&ddid=338620

And a red sea fan with gold polyps: http://m.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+10&ddid=339084

Both were from Diver's Den. Links above are for similar listing on DD.

The other gorgs were from my LFS. I think I have 2 Eunicea spp. and 1 Pterogorgia sp.

Thanks for sharing the site! I will definitely get a few here. I really like the blue one- Hypnea pannosa.

Yes, I have one coming in this week. I'm excited! [emoji171]

How's the blueberry and sea fan doing?
I hear there pretty hard to keep.
What are you feeding them?

What is thst 1st one?
I can't seam to keep greens in my tank.
I think my Ca is not high enough.
Been using regular instant ocean salt mix. After this bucket is gone I will go with reef crystals or might bump up the ca with supplements...

Hetereosiphona gibessii aka cotton candy algae

^ are you sure that is cotton candy?
I thought it was more like red HA bit not as invasive..

Haha well I put it in there because it was getting picked on, but for some weird reason it never really ate it???? But it's out of that tank now, so no worries now!
