Soong Yu Juan Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Just found out that the gorgonian I bought today is the hardest of them all. Do I have any chance of keeping it alive? Anyone has success with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nope, My max was 6 months.. It is very unusual... The only case i know of surviving and growing is in US and it is growing to the point it can be fragged for sale but the frags didnt make it.. I tried using the food recipe he have for this seafan but it didnt work out very well, Max I could get it to survive and opening up well is 6 months after that the health start to go downhill..

Terryz_ Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Still too early to tell if it is doing well, It could be starving and reaching out for food.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member dreamlover Posted March 10, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted March 10, 2013 Got 1 from pinnacle during Jan too, so far so gd. Hopefully can last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 They will appear to do well for the first few months... But slowly it will drop the polyps and become botak.. It would be good if we can have reefer who can keep them long term and share their experience.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soong Yu Juan Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Lol.. seems like the only thing i can do is hope and pray...

ezman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very nice already! Maybe you should share your regime in keeping it. i didnt do much other than feeding a small pinch of cyclopee twice weekly for the corals/fishes....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketbh Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Back from pinnacle pasir ris today. They still have 4 palm size BB fan. Incredibly beautiful ! Many hundreds of blue little polyps on spread-out orange branches opening up waiting for food. Handful of polyps close tightly seemingly they have caught something yummy in their tiny tentacles..... It's disappointing to know this is the hardest coral to live in captivity . Any bros like to update/impart their experience with BB fan ? ..... oyster feast, cyclopee, Filter feeder food, AquaPharm 5in1 plankton and Brightwell reef snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
