Hey guys so as some of you may know I have a 180 gallon reef tank and it is practically full of frags now ugh no more room for new corals unfortunately...that was until the death of my 15in Fluorescent green monti cap I loved so dearly. But on the bright-side it has allowed me space for more corals . Figuring that I need some movement in my tank I was thinking of going the gorgonian route. I have kept non photosynthetic gorgonians before but always traded them in due to the fact the color never really appeased me. I have always loved the colors the non-photosynthetic gorgonians have come in. I think I want to give them a shot and was looking for some advice on how to keep them healthy!
