They were just getting into Gorgs about the time I parted. I know there's Chuck on the Org that was trying a lot of things. I forget his handle, something like cjm3fl. Anything you find out, you gotta bring the information back to us so we can know too :)

Will do.
I am looking at return pumps right now. It is hard finding a mag 1 return pump :D
 
Looks like the blueberry is cool water. I just don't know about flow and feeding.

It looks like it needs higher flow to keep algae off the polyps but if I had a weak light than maybe it would work. It also said it needs to be fed BBS several times a day but that wouldn't be a problem :D

Yea the only thing would be the flow issue. You can always spot feed it if needed. I'm sure the horses are going to make enough of a mess to require very regular wc anyway.

Would this work for a gorgonian?-

I was thinking about maybe have a small pump underneath the gorgonian somehow to get it enough flow. I could stick the gorgonian to a rock that has a pump inside of it. It is complicated but it could work. All the success stories I have heard about blueberry gorgonians is feed them BBS a couple times a day and phyto. I can always dose phyto for the gorgonian and to help the pod population.

I was thinking a 25% water change a week because it sounds like blueberry gorgonians need A LOT of spot feeding.
 
Here is an idea I came up with. Maybe put a pump in the Rock the gorgonian is on to give it good flow but by the time the flow got to the horses it wouldn't be as strong. I could also put zoas or something in the rock base. (If you can tell, I am not an artist)

Got happens to the design when the blueberry dies? Many people have tried those gorges and I'm sure even though there are some successes, they don't do well. A 5 gallon tank with low flow is not going to be their ideal environment.

It would be cool though ;)
 
I think gorgonians are out of the picture. Just not enough flow or a big enough water volume.
Got to keep looking for something :)

Maybe some type of finger leather would work. Bids nest would work but I assume the DSH would agitate it too much.
 
Here are some corals that I think would work well,
Kenya tree
leather coral
zoas
Macro algae
Feather dusters (small ones)

CUC-
mysid shrimp
smal snails
micro brittle star
volcanic red shrimp (from Hawaii)
