Yellow Finger Gorgonian questions

[Tham121988]

So I picked up a yellow finger gorgonian. The one in the picture which is far back left. It is in my pico 7 gallon coral tank. I turned to flow to be directly on it. My question is, what are you feeding yours? I dose my tank with coral systems by korallen. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/coral-system-250-ml-package-korallen-zucht.html

I also am doing a water change 1 time a week. I feed brine shrimp 1 time a day to other tank inhabitants. Should this be enough to adequately feed the gorgonian or do I need to add another supplement etc to it? I figured with a water change 1 time a week and dosing on a tank that small would be adequate. Any other tips also appreciated.

Brine Shrimp is too big for the Gorgonian and is not an ideal food source for fish due to its low nutrient/ protein content and high moisture. Mysis is much healthier for fish plus add variety of veggie food too. Gorgonians will feed on small plankton- zooplankton and phytoplankton...

All the information I've seen said baby brine shrimp are ideal. But will look into mysis for him.

I pick this up 1 month ago. I'm into NPS corals, especially NPS softies. I broadcast feed. Every 3 hrs with fish feeder, feeder has reef roids, algae, mysis, locust,anchovies, all flour fine. And separate, liquid foods,Phyto-Feast, whole blended oysters, whole shrimp, powder foods.

Tons of polyp extension! You have a beautiful piece and looks like he’s liking your feeding regimen. Thanks for sharing.

How did you attach it to the back? What’s your flow like?

You welcome, as a refugium now, it's a half moon tank, 21" high. When I built it, cut to size, well pump strainer cloth(home depot), silicon glass area for cloth, now can glue any coral attached to live rock. With dividers tank is now circular. Better flow, make flow one direction then opposite direction. Condition so good have 20+ baby sun corals, yellow seem to propagate best, have black, orange, etc
