Agreed a solid base is a must.

Absolutely They should sway without hitting or brushing against anything , pretty Hardy gorg once it gets use to your system I have several of the eco gorg I had brought in a bunch with concept and I tried 9 of them all but 3 did very well and I still have them, the whips are a sensitive one I've tried two and no luck I thinks its a flow thing.

Most I find love high flow I'm over 100x flow rate and I trim mine quite a bit it grows fast

They arnt aggressive but don't appreciate being sting some of my Gorgs have pink star polyp growing on them they don't mind.

Should have polyps out all day long and bright not always at night

They also shed and do not appreciate algae growth on them

well the only place to put it that satisfies everything that people said was in the sand. It's on a pretty solid plug with a long peg so it's quite stable when it's buried almost to the base of the gorgonian. I'm not really digging the aesthetic of where it is though as it clearly looks like an after-thought, and I can't make it look 'intentional' without re-doing pretty much everything, so it might be for sale shortly, we'll see how fickle I am this weekend.
