Gorgonian response to Reef Roids
I picked up a nice purple Gorgonian which extends its polyps all night but nothing during the day. Here is a picture of it about 10 minutes after I target fed some Reef Roids.

Strong random flow. I just buried the base in the sand enough to hold it up. Mine is in a semi shaded part of the tank.

Alright.. I'll put a small blob of glue and attach it to a small rock. Alright so they like random high flow. Got a perfect spot for it. Cheers guys.

How often you reckon feedings? Do they only feed strictly st night or are they sun corals where you can train them to open during the day for feedings?

Mine will be out most of the time but it closes up randomly sometimes. Im target feeding once per day.

how do you target feed such a strange shape!? I got a free one on another coral that I may as well try to keep alive. Keen on any tips :)
