Hello all!
I decided to pick up a Yellow Finger Gorgonian a few days ago after seeing a WYSIWYG photo of it with it's brilliant white polyps out. Anyways I'm keeping several different NPS species currently but this is my first go at attempting to keep an NPS Gorg.
I've read up on it's specific requirements and have a basic understanding of how to care for it. One thing I've noticed was that the branches seem to acquire a stringy form of cyano. Although the rest of my tank appears 100% cyano free, not a spot in sight. I've made sure to place it in a high flow area and suck/baste the cyano anytime I see it trailing off of the branches but it returns almost immediately.
My question is, are gorgs cyano magnets? Will a FW dip be beneficial and or cure the cyano issue?
Any advanced care tips are much appreciated.
