Red Finger Gorgonia *

About this coral

Red Finger Gorgonia Multiples Available offers finger-shaped gorgonian soft corals for reef aquariums, sold as multiple available colonies under the shop name “Red Finger Gorgonia Multiples Available.” For this product group, the commonly used identification is the red finger gorgonian, Diodogorgia nodulifera. As a gorgonian (octocoral), it relies on capture feeding from the water column, so it’s best used by hobbyists who can provide appropriate flow and regular feeding to support a non-photosynthetic lifestyle (general guidance for the group).

Features:

• Finger-gorgonian form: branching “finger” structure with polyps that extend to capture suspended food (general gorgonian behavior).
• Non-photosynthetic feeding focus: plan on supplemental feeding with plankton-like foods for ongoing nutrition rather than light alone (general guidance for Diodogorgia nodulifera).
• Placement in lower/intense-light-avoiding areas: guidance for this red finger type notes lighting should not be very intense; choose a shadier spot.
• Provide good water movement: strong/steady flow helps deliver suspended food to the polyps and supports proper feeding.
• Target times/feeding: guidance for non-photosynthetic finger gorgonians indicates feeding may be done at night and with microplankton-type foods.
• Best results in stable, clean systems: like other NPS gorgonians, they typically perform better when the tank is well-established and free from chemical aggression and excess stress (general guidance for gorgonians).
