Sea Fan/Gorgonian options?

[daniella3d]

The Reef Shoppee has a very good selection of photosynthetic gorgonian, even a purple one if I remember well.

I have 2 that are photosynthetic and having a good growth rate. One has creamy color for the polyp and yellow for the skin and the other has yellow polyp on creamy skin.

One is under 4 x 24 watts T5HO and doing very well, and the other is still acclimating and has not beeing growing much but it is also doing well under 250 watt MH.

Although they are photosynthetic, they do have polyp to catch food so occasional coral food would probably help them grow faster.

All these are photosynthetic and you can probably try a few:

I am running a 48" six bulb tek light.

I love sea fans but know some are just not suited for aquarium life.
