Gorgonians are similar to another soft coral called the sea pen. Individual tiny form up colonies that are normally erect, flattened, branching, and reminiscent of a fan. Others may be whip like, bushy, or even encrusting.  A colony can be several feet high and across but only a few inches thick. They are normally brightly colored, often purple, red, or yellow.

The flesh and polyps extend over a wirelike skeleton and typically good knowledgeable aquarists will look for exposed skeleton as signs of damage or poor health. Gorgonian's can be broken down into two groups:

1. Photosynthetic  algae
2. Non-Photosynthetic  algae

The gorgonians will need strong currents to help them rid themselves of the waxy film that is secreted to rid them of algae. Surge devices or turbulent water flow is best will be the best solution.

Care of Photosynthetic Gorgonians:
As they are photosynthetic, they will need good lighting as well as strong currents. Although most are not accustomed to the very strong lights produced by metal halide, it is said that they will slowly and eventually adjust and grow faster because of it. Some can be fed while others cannot. In either way photosynthetic gorgonians don't need to be fed in order to survive.
Care of Non-Photosynthetic Gorgonians:
For those type of Non-Photosynthetic  they will require feeding ,you can feed them once a week . On food such as detritus, brine shrimp, Daphnia, Cyclops, or pulverized flake food, shrimp or clams.
