- Name:
Golden Plume Eco Gorg
(View AKA's) - Family: Gorgoniidae
- Species: Gorgonian Sea Fan
- Scientific Name: Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata
General info about Golden Plume Eco Gorg
In general, sea fans that comes from the genus Pterogorgia have rigid structures that are mainly composed of a calcite compound and gorgonin which is a type of hard protein. Their blade-like branches are usually flattened with numerous tiny polyps encased in a flexible net like skeletal structure.
As for the Golden Plume Eco Gorg, they are predominantly colored dark brown with white tentacles. This are the water parameters in cultivating Golden Plume Eco Gorg:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
- pH: 8.1 - 8.4
Golden Plume Eco Gorg Diet & Nutrition
The Golden Plume Eco Gorg are classified as zooxanthellate. This means that they get their primary nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. However, on top of this, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp in the water.
Fragging / Propagating Golden Plume Eco Gorg
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Golden Plume Eco Gorg. They should be set at the middle or bottom portion of the tank. You can use gel glue or any underwater adhesive to securely fasten their position.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Golden Plume Eco Gorg
The Golden Plume Eco Gorg requires moderate lighting and moderate to strong waterflow.
Parasites & Diseases that Affect Golden Plume Eco Gorg
The Golden Plume Eco Gorg is prone to cyanobacteria infestation, especially if there is minimal waterflow. In case of an algal infestation, you can clean them by removing the algae with a soft brush.
Golden Plume Eco Gorg Origin
The Golden Plume Eco Gorg can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean and in the Atlantic Ocean, especially in the USA and Canada.
Caution Should be Taken with Golden Plume Eco Gorg
Although the Golden Plume Eco Gorg has a peaceful behaviour, proper spacing should observed in relation to corals with an aggresive or semi-aggresive behaviour.
How to Acclimate Golden Plume Eco Gorg
Golden Plume Eco Gorg is purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
