This photosynthetic gorgonian adds vertical structure, movement, and natural reef texture to established saltwater aquariums. \u003cem\u003ePlexaura flexuosa\u003c\/em\u003e is valued by reef hobbyists for its bold purple coloration, branching display shape, and hardier care requirements compared with non-photosynthetic gorgonians. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\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. Good flow is important to keep the branches clean, encourage polyp extension, and prevent algae or detritus from settling on the tissue. Place it where the colony receives steady movement without being blasted directly. Maintain stable reef parameters, good water quality, and avoid allowing nuisance algae to overgrow the branches. 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":"Regular Size 3-6 inches","offer_id":51629500727529,"sku":"GS Eco Gorgo 12","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 6+ inches","offer_id":51629500760297,"sku":"GS Eco Gorgo 13","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/Photosynthetic-Gorgonian-Purple-Candleabra-GA1503.jpg?v=1776296883","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/purple-candelabra-photosynthetic-gorgonian-soft-coral-pea-f-au0323","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
