Alright guys and girls, post pics of any photosynthetic gorgonians you've come across. They don't have to be yours, they just have to be photosynthetic.

I'll kick off the show with the ones I have:

Bottlebrush looking gorgonian:

I love gorgonians! Do you target feed them at all?

I try to feed them daily. I've only been doing so for the last two months or so though. Prior to that, I've kept these two for over a year and have had enough growth to make 3-4 frags of either every month.

I also have a purple ribbon which i'll try to get pics of in the next couple of days.

Here's a shot of the purple ribbon growing in the same tank:

I've been having great success with these gorgonians using high flow and daily feedings with high quality zooplankton products (Reef Roids and Cyclopeeze).
