Thanks Tony, I read the same thing about feeding, and it is the pretty ones that need more care and attention. I will stay away from those simply because I am a simple reefer and not at the point that I'm looking for a challenge.... RSM's is stunning even though color wise it's beige, they seem to add a different look to a tank. After seeing a few photos with gorgs in them and being something I haven't tried, will likely give it a go!

Ya I really like them swaying with the current. I may frag a few pieces soon. I will let you know :biggrin:

if you do want to try a nps gorg start with the menella sp. its a beautiful nps gorg that does not require daily feedings or target for that matter.

any of the eco gorgs are fairly easy to keep with good water quality and decent flow.

im up to 12 gorgs!!!

some of my eco's and the menella ive had for a lonnnnnnng time lol

Nice to know there is a healthy supply of gorgs in Calgary Denny! Hoping to move there this summer.

I can't ID them all, but here are mine:

This one kind of looks like another species of Menella. The polyps and arrangement of the polyps look very similar to what Denny posted. It was called a corky finger when it was sold to me.

This is your doing Jakegr, saw your seahorse tank pics and was smitten!! I got lucky and grabbed one off Snappy this aft.....will see how it does before adding more, but I def see more in my future!!

Nice collection Denny!! I will make it over to your place one of these days.....

I have what I 'think' is a Plexaura flexuosa, but I'm not sure
Medium height in tank and medium flow

Every couple of months it closes up for days at a time and I have to scrub off the brown algae. I use a toothbrush with the gorg in my palm and scrub against my hand. Then it opens again like nothing happened

Crazy polyp extension the rest of the time and no care required otherwise

You'll have to post some pictures once you get a collection going!
