Nope, My max was 6 months.. It is very unusual... The only case i know of surviving and growing is in US and it is growing to the point it can be fragged for sale but the frags didnt make it.. I tried using the food recipe he have for this seafan but it didnt work out very well, Max I could get it to survive and opening up well is 6 months after that the health start to go downhill..

Just found out that the gorgonian I bought today is the hardest of them all. Do I have any chance of keeping it alive? Anyone has success with them?

They will appear to do well for the first few months... But slowly it will drop the polyps and become botak.. It would be good if we can have reefer who can keep them long term and share their experience..

Lol.. seems like the only thing i can do is hope and pray... Ok switched the flow to moderately high and it opened up nicely. .. any particular food product or size of food particles you guys recommend?

Any Filter feeder food would be good..

Back from pinnacle pasir ris today. They still have 4 palm size BB fan.

Incredibly beautiful ! Many hundreds of blue little polyps on spread-out orange branches opening up waiting for food.

Handful of polyps close tightly seemingly they have caught something yummy in their tiny tentacles.....

It's disappointing to know this is the hardest coral to live in captivity .

Any bros like to update/impart their experience with BB fan ?

..... oyster feast, cyclopee, Filter feeder food, AquaPharm 5in1 plankton and Brightwell reef snow
