Macroalgae For Marine Reef Aquariums: Purple Frilly Gorgonian ecosystems
   

Purple Candelabra Gorgonian (Plexaura flexuosa)

A beautiful photosynthetic gorgonian that features a deep purple skeleton with medium sized tan polyps. This species grows mostly upright and features thick branches. It can be a delicate shipper, but once properly acclimated it is a fantastic specimen. Gorgonians regularly shed tissue to remove buildup of sediment and algae from forming on their skeleton. All photosynthetic gorgonians require roughly 4-5 watts per gallon to thrive. Like many corals, it also filter feeds, so weekly feeding is recommended for optimal health. We offer single specimens mounted on reef plugs that are 6-8" tall.
