The Red Whip Gorgonia is an attractive branching tree-like gorgonian, it is extremely brittle and breaks easily, making it easy to propagate in this way. This sea fan will usually grow in small and sparsely branched colonies.
The Red Whip Gorgonia is peaceful, but it should be given adequate space away from neighbouring corals or anemones. Underwater epoxy is commonly used to anchor its base to a piece of live rock in the reef aquarium. It is difficult to maintain even in the well-established reef system.
They are not photosynthetic and requires a low level of lighting to ward off a build-up of microalgae. It also requires a stronger water flow and the addition of iodine, calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water. Since it is not photosynthetic, its survival is dependent on regular and frequent feedings of micro-plankton, live, baby brine shrimp, or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.
