Questions about this Red (purplish?) Gorg

[darkblue]

Would like to seek your help/advice in taking care of this gorg - what to feed, frequency of feeding, if it's an NPS, ...

Here's the link to picasaweb album in case the images below won't show up here - http://picasaweb.google.com/Chris.Joson/Gorg#











Is this gorg an Echinogorgia sp? is it the same with the gorg here - ?


What size of coral food would this gorg eat - phytoplankton? cyclop-eeze? or pwede din kaya home-made mix like dulong, fish eggs, nassarius snail eggs, etc...?

ganda niya!

i assume it eats stuff commensurate on the size of its mouth (which is really really small)

@ khuran, ASAN3.1416, phantom: Thanks mga sir I think the gorg's color gets even better pag maganda yung ilaw. Mine is still yellowish.

Nakatyempo lang sir dun sa tomboy's store na puro acrylic tanks. Currently, I'm target feeding it with nassarious snail eggs na na-scrape ko over the past couple of days - which lays eggs once or twice every week. And been dosing my tank with phytoplankton (Kent ChromaMax).

The snail eggs seem still too big for the gorgs mouth tentacles. With phyto naman, I can't visibly verify if they're able to actually filter-feed them. So I'm worried as I can't verify if they're actually able to feed.

Here's a macroshot from an RC thread showing a gorg actually feeding. Ang galing

This gorg is not the same as mine - as mine looks more like a menella sp.
