    Type of gorgonia fan coral
    Non photosynthetic, it doesn't need much light but provide it with good flow to prevent algae from growing over it.
    It needs to be fed.

    It's a Blueberry Gorgonian. Reef Chili is a good coral food imo. DT's, MarineSnow or like 2in10 said Cyclop-eez are all good foods too. It'll need multiple feeding throughout the day.

    Yep, they require a lot of work & don't usually live very long. Good luck with it & keep us updated on it!
