Keen reef keeper focused on improving access to home-grown corals in the UK and connecting the community. I grow corals in a stable system and share frags when available.
Description
A photosynthetic gorgonian coral frag is a type of soft coral suitable for intermediate-level reef aquarium enthusiasts. Also known simply as a “gorgonian,” this coral grows as a branching sea fan and relies partly on photosynthesis from its symbiotic zooxanthellae to obtain energy.
Photosynthetic gorgonians are typically purple in colour, although their appearance can vary depending on the lighting spectrum used in the aquarium. Under certain lighting — especially strong blue reef lighting — they may appear lighter, darker, or even slightly different in tone, as shown in the photo.
This coral adds an elegant and natural look to a reef aquarium and can become a striking feature in the aquascape when provided with moderate light and good water flow.
Listing is for a frag of this gorgonian – about 4-5cm piece
