Gorg's are typically a filter feeder, though some are photsysnthetic. Not actually and sps, although the growth structure does resemble a skinny acro colony.

Dunno if you purchased at an LFS, but if you are loking for a gorg, I think you will find them difficult to keep in a small tank like yours. I would try a frag of one from a fellow aquarist. They will also be able to tell you if it is photosynthtic or a filter feeder. I think a small peice will be much easier to keep alive in that tank than a wild colony.

yeah gorgs are primarily filter feeders and some are photosyn. mine was not photosyn and was a frag... i was told it is diffucult i just did not know how diff. it was

ok time for an update (since i haven't done one in awhile.)

lets see i now have 10 nassarius snails, a peppermint shrimp (did a good job with aiptaisias) a blue mushroom colony, a brownish mushroom colony, massive amounts of silver branch pulsing xenia, a new red sea pom pom xenia, a new ricordia mushroom colony, an orange plate coral, a lavenderish candy cane coral (3heads) as well as a large feather duster, flame angel, oc. clown, and the original to the tank blue-green reef chromis.

i also have lots of different macro algaes that i just let grow until i decide to pull them out and give them to a friend who has lots of tangs and butterflys and other algae eating critters, he says its a good treat for them compared to the dried stuff

here are some pictures

I love my hammers and frogspawn. Hope yours do well. Look for a scrolling on instead of branching. They are incredible.
