Red Stick Gorgonian

These red stick gorgonians have multiple branches and are approximately 6 inches tall.

Culturing of the colony is often accomplished by taking a branch of the coral and attaching that piece to live rock which will form a new colony.

The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within its body provides a majority of its nutritional needs and does not have to be fed.

Scientific name: Gorgonian sp.
