I've tried keeping the blue gorgonian before. Such a beautiful creature, and a local newb bought it by mistake and wanted to trade for it. I gave him some corals for it.
I fed it cyclopeeze nightly in my 120g reef, spot fed and some free floating from feeding corals at night.
He lasted about 2 weeks before polyps started shedding off, in about 1.5 months (6 weeks or so) it was a bare skeleton. Never had issues with algae growing on skeleton.
I tried my best, but my best wasn't good enough, but I gave it a better try than the person who originally bought it.
I'll never EVER buy one or even bother trying to keep them alive. They're just not really suitable for a nutrient poor lighting intense SPS reef...
I wish you all luck with yours though. That dedicated nanocube is a great idea for growing them though! Very nice!
