What a beautiful coral! I just purchased it with the advice they are hard to maintain. I love challenges, so I bought it. This is what I have been told; it is non photosynthetic, a filter feeder (DT's) and likes mild currents. I have attempted to attach a pic (new at this computer thing), but it does not do it justice because of my 20,000K bulb (blue on blue). If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

How do you post a picture?

I have heard that you cannot let Gorgonian touch the air at all. that it will kill it if it does, is that true?

Most of the information that I have read have been through threads like this one. I have not read anything about taking them out to the water. If I do read something, I will post it and show its' source. Thank you for the lead.

Well, this is the first time I've attached the picture... usually I just link to it. Max file size for jpg is 97.7 KB (which is pretty small. To attach the picture, you have to be in the advanced view, click on the Paper-Clip and you should find your way...

I have two Gorgonians (yellow and red) and my research only talked about not exposing them to too much light because the algae that forms on them (in direct lighting) would cause them to starve to death. So I've moved them to a darker (more shady) area and they seem to be doing fine.
