Slit Pore Gorgonian

The Slit Pore Gorgonian (Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata) is a stunning, easy-care soft coral that adds movement, height, and natural texture to any reef tank. Its elegant, feather-like branches sway beautifully in the flow, creating a dynamic focal point that instantly elevates your aquascape.

This photosynthetic gorgonian thrives under moderate lighting and strong, consistent water movement. It grows steadily and is well-suited for both mixed reefs and soft-coral–dominated systems. Unlike non-photosynthetic varieties, the Slit Pore Gorgonian does not require heavy feeding—just stable water parameters and a clean, well-lit environment.

At The Algae Plug, each colony is aquacultured and inspected for health and pests. A hardy choice for hobbyists who want a beautiful, low-maintenance showpiece.

Care Highlights:

• Light: Moderate to high
• Flow: Strong, alternating or constant
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic; optional occasional phytoplankton
• Placement: Upright in areas of higher flow for best polyp extension

Bring natural Caribbean beauty to your reef with the graceful and resilient Slit Pore Gorgonian.
