Bruce Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 From Reef Any Ideas Info from you guys would be appreciated, there is not alot of info on them anywhere Feeding and eveyones favourite Fragging /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Could be anything from Ellisella sp, Leptogorgia sp, but most probably Diodogoria sp. It doesn't look like a Gorgonia sp. They have no zooxanthellae, so they get all their nutrition from capturing food. I'd try it in high current position, and feeding fine particles of food. Don't know what exactly they feed on. I wouldn't bother with phyto. Maybe cyclopeze (sp) or baby brine shrimp, or something similar. Are the branches reasonably brittle, or are they quite flexible?

lduncan Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Probably Diodogoria sp. then. If you happen to break a bit. You could always send it my way. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
