Scientific:

Diodogorgia nodulifera

Common:

Red/yellow Finger Gorgonia

Origin:

Caribean

Temperature:

75.2 °F - 78.8 °F (24°C - 26°C)

Aquarium:

degree of difficulty

fairly easy


Husbandry:

I am spot feeding this Gorg at least twice a week. I find it an easy coral to take care, not needing any other special requirement except food. When it is not fed for a week, some tissue will recede but will immediately grow back in three days when given food. As with other seafan, the Diodogorgia must be in a good flow.

They readily accept food. I feed mine with homemade mush, frozen daphnia, soak with tank water freeze-dried cyclopeze and the PolyLab's reef-roids alternately.


here a picture when I got it from FishGallery in Houston Texas couple of months back.

after surviving the 16 hours flight back to Dubai, and gluing it to a ruble.
