This photosynthetic gorgonian adds height, texture, and natural movement to established saltwater aquariums. \u003cem\u003ePlexaura flexuosa\u003c\/em\u003e is a strong choice for reef hobbyists looking for a hardy, attractive gorgonian that is easier to maintain than non-photosynthetic species. The species identification matches Pacific East Aquaculture’s Slit Pore Photosynthetic Gorgonian listing. \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. Steady 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 consistent movement without being blasted directly. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium, along with good overall water quality. This gorgonian is photosynthetic, but it 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":43080808825065,"sku":"GS Eco Gorgo 9","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/Photosynthetic-Gorgonian-Slit-Pore-GA1506.jpg?v=1776296885","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/slit-pore-photosynthetic-gorgonian-soft-coral-pea-f-au0328","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
