These soft corals will add a new dimension to any aquarium with their unique shapes, texture, height and wide variety of colors. Most varieties are multi branching and all have their own unique shape. Polyp sizes, color and structures vary for different species and the same species can vary in appearance from different collection locations.

All corals should have their own space in the aquarium, you do not want them touching other corals and to be safe give them a few inches minimum apart from other corals. Different coral species can sting and harm each other when placed too close to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Gorgonians often come attached to a ceramic coral frag plug but not all varieties do. This plug can be placed into a hole in your liverock or sand bed if you prefer.

Gorgonian and Sea Fan corals have a \"stem\" internally which you will see when you remove the coral from the plug. This is most often brown in coloration. We recommend dropping the coral glue on this stem base outside of the aquarium and placing the base onto the rockwork in the aquarium where you wish. It helps to find a little crevice in the rock to place the base in. Once the coral glue touches the aquarium water it will start to set and have an external film. It helps to twist the base on the rock where you wish to place the coral to help break open this drying film. This will help the coral stick to the rockwork better. Many Gorgonians and Sea Fans are going to be top heavy and will take some practice to get the hang of placing them in the aquarium. It may also help to lean another piece of rock on the Gorgonian for a few hours to keep it upright while the glue fully sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Water Parameters for Keeping Gorgonians and Sea Fans:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgonians and Sea Fans are full strength saltwater live coral.

Gorgonian and Sea Fan corals have a \"stem\" internally which you will see when you remove the coral from the plug. This is most often brown in coloration. We recommend dropping the coral glue on this stem base outside of the aquarium and placing the base onto the rockwork in the aquarium where you wish. It helps to find a little crevice in the rock to place the base in. Once the coral glue touches the aquarium water it will start to set and have an external film. It helps to twist the base on the rock where you wish to place the coral to help break open this drying film. This will help the coral stick to the rockwork better. Many Gorgonians and Sea Fans are going to be top heavy and will take some practice to get the hang of placing them in the aquarium. It may also help to lean another piece of rock on the Gorgonian for a few hours to keep it upright while the glue fully sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Water Parameters for Keeping Gorgonians and Sea Fans:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgonians and Sea Fans are full strength saltwater live coral.

This variety is one of the less commonly available Gorgonian species in the aquarium trade. Purple Candelabra Gorgonians have a thicker and more ridgid branches compared some of the other varieties we offer. This species has nice polyp extension and often smaller beige, cream to light color polyps against their purple base color. Our Purple Candelbra Gorgonians originate from the Florida Keys and South Florida. This is one of the owners favoriate Gorgonian varieties. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgonians and Sea Fans are gorgeous soft corals and are considered hardy beginner corals when properly cared for. They are perfect for soft coral dominated aquariums, any reef tank, a Gorgonian dominated tank, Caribbean tank (many are Caribbean species) or seahorse aquarium (perfect hitching posts for them to hold onto). These soft corals will add a new dimension to any aquarium with their unique shapes, texture, height and wide variety of colors. Most varieties are multi branching and all have their own unique shape. Polyp sizes, color and structures vary for different species and the same species can vary in appearance from different collection locations. We work with several suppliers to offer our wide variety of Gorgonians and Sea Fans. The same species can often have a lot of variation when they originate from different collection areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Note:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGorgonians and Sea Fans do not handle coral dips well or freshwater dips and we do not recommend doing this with these corals.

All corals should have their own space in the aquarium, you do not want them touching other corals and to be safe give them a few inches minimum apart from other corals. Different coral species can sting and harm each other when placed too close to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Gorgonians often come attached to a ceramic coral frag plug but not all varieties do. This plug can be placed into a hole in your liverock or sand bed if you prefer. One can also use Coral Glue to attach the plug to the rockwork to help keep the Gorgonian Secure and in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do not have a hole in the rockwork or perhaps you do not like seeing the frag plug in your aquarium you can remove the Gorgonian or Sea Fan coral from the ceramic coral frag plug. Gorgonian and Sea Fan corals have a \"stem\" internally which you will see when you remove the coral from the plug. This is most often brown in coloration. We recommend dropping the coral glue on this stem base outside of the aquarium and placing the base onto the rockwork in the aquarium where you wish. It helps to find a little crevice in the rock to place the base in. Once the coral glue touches the aquarium water it will start to set and have an external film. It helps to twist the base on the rock where you wish to place the coral to help break open this drying film. This will help the coral stick to the rockwork better. Many Gorgonians and Sea Fans are going to be top heavy and will take some practice to get the hang of placing them in the aquarium. It may also help to lean another piece of rock on the Gorgonian for a few hours to keep it upright while the glue fully sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Water Parameters for Keeping Gorgonians and Sea Fans:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgonians and Sea Fans are full strength saltwater live coral.

All corals should have their own space in the aquarium, you do not want them touching other corals and to be safe give them a few inches minimum apart from other corals. Different coral species can sting and harm each other when placed too close to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Gorgonians often come attached to a ceramic coral frag plug but not all varieties do.

Gorgonian and Sea Fan corals have a \"stem\" internally which you will see when you remove the coral from the plug. This is most often brown in coloration. We recommend dropping the coral glue on this stem base outside of the aquarium and placing the base onto the rockwork in the aquarium where you wish. It helps to find a little crevice in the rock to place the base in. Once the coral glue touches the aquarium water it will start to set and have an external film. It helps to twist the base on the rock where you wish to place the coral to help break open this drying film. This will help the coral stick to the rockwork better. Many Gorgonians and Sea Fans are going to be top heavy and will take some practice to get the hang of placing them in the aquarium. It may also help to lean another piece of rock on the Gorgonian for a few hours to keep it upright while the glue fully sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Water Parameters for Keeping Gorgonians and Sea Fans:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgonians and Sea Fans are full strength saltwater live coral.

Color and appearance varies. Differences in lighting, glass, water parameters, and many other factors can influence how a specimen appears so it may appear different in your aquarium. We do not guarantee compatibility, color, exact size, exact species, or shape of livestock. We quarantine and hold our Gorgonian and Sea Fan corals before offering them for sale. All Gorgonians and Sea Fans are housed in a Gorgonian and Sea Fan only system. We do not mix them with any other fish, invertebrates or other livestock. We have regularly checked through our specimens for pests. While we do our best to ensure all livestock is pest free, we do not guarantee any livestock is 100% pest free and always encourage good quarantine practices at home no matter where you get your livestock from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Note:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGorgonians and Sea Fans do not handle coral dips well or freshwater dips and we do not recommend doing this with these corals.
