Jake-

You have to post a pic of those gorgs you got in. They are very cool. I've never seen anything quite like them.
 
The pic really doesn't do this piece justice, and the polyps are just starting to open.

How much you looking to get for that Piece?
I also believe that they are calling that a spider sponge.
But From what I have researched it is actually a Zoanthid of sorts that grows on and with the sponge.
 
Frag 1 up and sell them, I’d rather have a smaller piece than 1 large piece.
Tank space is limited but would still like to have a frag of that!
 
if you were to dose rotifers into your reef as regular as feeding the fish, im sure you can maintain this coral.

when i get my hands on a small pump and some rotifers, im going to experiment on a continuous rotifer feeding system. only thing the keeper needs to do is keep the rotifer tank green with phytoplankton.

i'll be in on a frag as well. split me off a 10-15$ frag if you want. ill be stopping in on friday.

something worth thinking about, and i understand if you wish not to frag the corals.
 
They need a moderate amount of flow as they are filter feeders. No light amount is needed but they need to be fed like armagedon said
 
I wish I had more room in my tank, one of those would be wonderful, if they are sustainable, I'd love a frag in the future, whoever gets it.
 
that is actually a "blueberry" gorg I believe, not a spider sponge. Still a really cool piece. Can't remember if they are photosynthetic or not...

yea, a google search with that name came with some positive hits.
this one had some basic information on it http://www.qualitymarinelife.com/QBlueberryGorgo.html

anyone interested in this Gorg should take a read at this. this link should give you some ideas on what you'll need to keep this coral.

Actually, it looks like Jake has a pretty nice price - the pieces are pretty big. If they will catch baby brine shrimp and marine snow, they would probably catch reef chili and cylopeeze too?
 
I feed that daily, so you’re saying that it isn’t that hard or a coral to keep with dry or frozen foods?

Ok I broke down and took some pics.

I'd be willing to frag this coral up into $15 frags. If you decide that you want one, let me know when you visit the storefront.

i'll also bring you two adult peppermint shrimp (2$ store credit each i think is what you told me).
