for some reason i thought gorgonians were hard to keep alive, but reading up on them now, it doesn't really look that way (although WWM doesn't know everything)... these links may be able to help you get started.

i think a lot of people here don't make any attempt to feed their SPS directly at all. bob fenner is a best-care scenario kinda guy.
