I had to reduce to a very minimal dose so that my gorgonians would stay open. All of them are photosynthetic. No other coral have any adverse reaction to vitamin C. I think what the gorgonians don't like it's not the vitamin C but rather the biofilm that build up on them so they then need to molt to get clean again, and it's alot of energy wasted to molt all the time. Since I reduced the dose they rarely molt.

Have you considered increasing or changing the flow patterns to help get rid of the bio film?
I find that pointing my tunzies up towards the surface creates a lot of gentle swirl kind of flow that corals like a lot
