How does this Gorgonian grow?

[Elite]

Will it start growing branches or it just keep growing straight up?? How fast does it grow? Thanks guys!


The one behind the clown..

Not very fast. Growth depends on several factors, food and water movement being two critical ones.

Watch out for the Caulerpa though, that one goes asexual in a BAD way. I used to use that one in a 680g with a 300g fuge it a 3gallon pail amount went and killed the entire tank!

thanks Gresham, how does it grow? does it shooting out branches or encrusted and then growing branches?

thanks for the warning, i will keep an eye on it.

 

[GreshamH]

Like I said, it depends on flow They usually just branch out with little encrusting.

oh ok.. it's going to get plenty of flow and food (oyster feast, cyclopeez and light) thanks!

 

[GreshamH]

Roti-Feast would be a good one as well.
