I don't need it but the Bangerter tank I take care of is great with gorgonians under VHO lighting. Someone else may have it but if no one calls it soon enough to save it, give me a call.

I'd love it. I have Metal Halide lighting, it should do fine.

Let me know. Thanks, Ryan

Gorgonian don't need the light as much as they need to be feed.

If you can't find a good home let me know.+

However, it depends on the type of Gorgonian you have. There are two types of Gorgonians, photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic. If the polyps on it are all white, then it is not a photosynthetic type and then lighting does not matter; however, they do require a good food source. If the polyps are brown or colored then it is a photosynthetic type that needs good lighting and also supplimental feeding to survive.
