Purple Bottle Brush Gorgonian (frag with base) - Muriceopsis flavida

Bottle Brush Gorgonians are a very sustainable Gorgonian that is photosynthetic and also are regarded as a suspension feeder as are many Gorgonians. They do best within areas of a reef aquarium with moderate light and good water flow. We attach to a plug in order to make them self standing...

1. Welcome to R2R!
2. I'm planning something similar, but specific to the Indian River Lagoon. I live a few minutes away and plan to collect from the lagoon for the tank (legal with fishing license).


here's a species inventory of the lagoon (not exhaustive)

Very cool, gbru316. Hope you will make a build thread. I, newbie, am experimenting with a 10 gal tank. Cycling it now. Then add a piece of TBS live rock to see what happens. Also setting up phyto culture so can feed the live rock.

Thanks, it’s a few years away. It’ll be a 2x2x2 cube next to a 6x2x2 SPS dominant reef tank, plumbed together through the sump.
