Tell me about gorgonian coral

[Jakegr]

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.





Pterogorgia I think


My favorite and the center piece of my tank:




Not sure what this species is.



Corky finger. Don't have a picture of it with its polyps out!

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!
