Introducing the Finger Gorgonia Red (Lophogorgia nodulifera) to add a vibrant pop of color to your underwater paradise. Also known as Red Tree Gorgonian or Colourful Sea Rod, this attractive branching coral is a sight to behold with its bright orange-yellow hues and stunning red and white polyps. Alternatively, you can opt for a deep red to purple variation with striking white polyps.
This sea fan, with its fragile nature, breaks easily, making it a breeze to propagate. Watch it grow in small, sparsely branched colonies, creating a mesmerizing display in your saltwater marine reef aquarium.
While the Red Finger Gorgonian is peaceful by nature, it's important to provide it with ample space away from neighboring corals or anemones. To securely anchor its base, you can use underwater epoxy to attach it to a piece of live rock in your reef aquarium.
Keep in mind that this coral variety requires low lighting to maintain optimal conditions and prevent microalgae buildup. It also thrives in stronger water flow and benefits from regular supplementation of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements.
As the Red Finger Gorgonian is not photosynthetic, its survival depends on frequent feedings of micro-plankton, live baby brine shrimp, or specialized foods for filter-feeding invertebrates. Ensure its well-being with regular care and attention.
