This hardy soft coral adds height, movement, and natural reef structure to established saltwater aquariums. Its bold dark branches and textured polyps make it an excellent choice for reef keepers looking for a dramatic photosynthetic gorgonian with easier care than non-photosynthetic varieties.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePlexaura flexuosa\u003c\/em\u003e does best in moderate to higher lighting with moderate to strong, indirect water flow. Consistent flow helps keep the branches clean, encourages polyp extension, and prevents detritus or nuisance algae from settling on the tissue. Place it where the branches receive steady movement without being blasted directly. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium, along with good overall water quality. This gorgonian is photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional broadcast feeding with fine coral foods, phytoplankton, or other small suspended foods in a mature reef aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51630702821609,"sku":"GS Eco Gorgo 26","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/photosynthetic-gorgonian-black-candleabra-GA1501.jpg?v=1786052905","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/black-candelabra-photosynthetic-gorgonian-soft-coral-pea-f-au0333","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
