Gorgonian info needed

[Cubman777]

Does anyone know if any are actually photosynthetic?
If they are how can you tell?
Does anyone have any general care tips/advice that they can give?

I've been keeping one ( purple, collected here in florida ) for three years and they love strong to mild currents, lots of the colorful ones are not as hard, if you have algae problem in your tank its better to get rid of that first ( easy to say , ah ? ), anyway " corals, a quick refence guide " from julian sprung have good info, good luck

thanx, I am actually considering getting a purple one. It most likely is the same or very similar to the one that you have since mine was also collected in FL.
I have pretty high flow in my tank and it seems as though they would catch the current pretty well, so let me ask you, how did you mount yours?
