Spiral Gorgonian Care Questions

[KLR]

I just bought a yellow spiral gorgonian and was wondering what are the best ways to keep it happy. Right now it is glued in a cave, they prefer low light correct? How about flow?

It isnt a small cave it is maybe 5 by 5..

Thanks

i have mine in the open...it has to be in an area where theres a lot of flow to make sure algae wont buildup

Ok mine is in medium to high flow so I will leave it.

Do cyclopeeze and phyto feed it well? Does it take meaty foods?

Idk why but im all of a sudden having gorgonian craze,lol. Everytime I see a gorgonian I buy it!!

Meaty foods, mine will take down blackworms and mysis if it gets the chance. I basically just hit it with the turkey baster with food. I would keep good flow on it, helps keep the algae off and helps keep them spiraled up.
