Encrusting Gorgonian-Photosynthetic

This is for an Encrusting Gorgonian, Erythropodium caribaeorum.

Size: ~1.5-3+ inches, sizes vary

This is a unique Gorgonian coral. It is one of our favorites at the farm. Unlike our other common branching forms of Gorgonians, this variety actually encrusts on the rock in the aquarium. This Gorgonian has large polyps and is sure to add diversity to your aquascape. Color of the encrusting Gorgonian is beige and varies with individuals, lighting and other factors. Gorgonians are a perfect addition to seahorse aquariums. This is a photosynthetic species and easy to keep.

We recommend moderate to high lighting and water flow. This species is safe to keep with seahorses. 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. We recommend reef aquarium water parameters for this coral species.
