The **Blueberry Gorgonian** is an eye-catching and distinctive sea fan. It grows with upward branches from a central base, featuring a red skeleton adorned with blue polyps. For optimal care, place the **Blueberry Gorgonian** in the middle to upper sections of your aquarium, ensuring it receives low to moderate lighting and high water flow. Monitor for stress and adjust its position if necessary. Algae must be kept off the **Blueberry Gorgonian** to maintain its health. This peaceful coral won't disturb its neighbors but requires ample space to accommodate its rapid growth.
As a carnivore, the **Blueberry Gorgonian** doesn't rely on photosynthesis for nutrients. It needs to be fed with micro-plankton, mysis, and baby-brine shrimp, although it can also absorb some nutrition from the water. Due to its care requirements, it is best suited for expert aquarists.
