Gorgonians
Knobby Sea Rod (Eunicea sp)
One of my favorite gorgonians, commonly called a Knobby Sea Rod (Eunicea sp.). This gorgonian has large fleshy polyps, grows rapidly and is very easy to propagate.
Knobby Sea Rod Propagation
The branches of my Knobby Sea Rods were getting so long they started to sweep against SPS corals. Two long branches got about seven inches cut off and were propagated. Gorgonians respond very well to propagation.
Muricea sp.
An unknown gorgonian species, possibly in the genus Muricea or Plexaura. This is a short polyped species with lateral branching.
Silver Quill Gorgonian - Muricea laxa
This coral has been a fairly slow grower but has shown steady growth. It tends to bush outwards more than upwards. This trend is changing since being placed under Metal Halide lighting.
