Diodogorgia nodulifera

Diodogorgia nodulifera, commonly known as the Knotted Gorgonian, is a striking non-photosynthetic gorgonian coral known for its bright orange, red, or yellow branches and contrasting white polyps. Colonies form upright, branching structures with distinctive swollen nodes along the branches, creating an elegant, tree-like appearance. Its vibrant colors and graceful form make it a spectacular display coral for specialized reef aquariums.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Low; lighting is not essential for nutrition
• Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent flow
• Placement: Areas with consistent water movement to aid feeding and prevent detritus accumulation
• Feeding: Requires frequent feeding of phytoplankton, zooplankton, rotifers, and other fine suspended foods
