Non-photosynthetic Gorgonian Sea Fan corals make great additions to established, well-filtered reef aquariums providing incredible visual interest with their architectural form and hypnotic movement. The non-photosynthetic Gorgonian Sea Fan corals included in the Assorted Maricultured NPS Sea Fan 3 Pack are peaceful but should be given adequate space between neighboring corals or anemones. Underwater epoxy is commonly used to anchor the base of these corals to a piece of live rock in the reef aquarium. Keep in mind that these are non-photosynthetic corals that require regular feedings several times per week to satisfy their nutritional needs.

To discourage potential nuisance algae and cyanobacteria growth on the Gorgonian Sea Fan corals, it is important that you provide medium to strong water flow (constant or intermittent). Be sure to immediately remove any nuisance algae or cyanobacteria covering your Gorgonian Sea Fan corals as this can lead to rapid coral tissue deterioration if left unchecked. A mild case of nuisance algae or cyanobacteria growth can be remedied by gently removing the algae using a soft brush. To combat stubborn cyanobacteria growth, soak (dip) the affected Gorgonian Sea Fan coral in freshwater of the same temperature for approximately one minute. The Gorgonian Sea Fan corals included in the Assorted Maricultured NPS Sea Fan 3 Pack will benefit from the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

The Gorgonian Sea Fan corals included in the Assorted Maricultured NPS Sea Fan 3 Pack should be fed several times a week with foods designed for filter-feeding invertebrates. Offer a varied diet of live or frozen baby brine shrimp, Marine Snow, PhytoPlan, and other suitable micro foods.
