Well, it has been about 6 months since I had to give up on saving my Red Finger Gorgonian. I realized shortly after I bought it, that it was not a healthy specimen. I struggled from the beginning. It fed, but I could tell that it could be doing better. I learned that the gorgs tissue will rot around anything that is encasing it, such as epoxy and sand/CC. This experience took me almost 3 times before it sunk in what I was doing and that I needed to do what the coral wanted, not what I wanted.
ok,ok,ok
I was at my lfs and I saw a beauty! Several branches with visible holes where each polyp was. We squirted some phyto around it and immediately its polyps started to show
It is a strong specimen.
I brought it home and propped it up with some rubble.
:bigbounce :bigbounce
This is the one coral that really trips my trigger, I hope I can sucessfully keep it.
I think its the polyps, It looks like a tree with blossoms.
Heres a pic shortly after acclimation. The same night sooooo many more polyps were out.
