Red Finger Gorgonia *

About this coral

Red Finger Gorgonia – Multiples Available is a living coral offered in multiple frags for reef aquariums, commonly kept for its long, flower-like polyps and standout display texture. While “Red Finger Gorgonia” is often used as a coral name for a seller-selected variety, it’s best approached as a general gorgonia/LPS-style coral where the goal is to provide stable reef conditions and gentle, consistent conditions. In practice, it can add movement, contrast, and a distinct polyp profile to mixed reef scapes—especially when placed where active extension can be easily observed.

Features:

• Long, flower-like polyps that extend for a textured, eye-catching look
• A “flowerpot-style” growth habit that helps create vertical interest in the aquarium
• Generally suited to moderate lighting so it can maintain coloration and active extension under reef-spectrum/actinic light
• Benefits from low to moderate, gently varied water flow (avoiding direct blasting of tissue)
• Best used with appropriate spacing from neighboring corals to reduce contact issues
• Hand-selected multiple frags mean the exact shape and polyp presentation may vary piece to piece
