I found a gorgonian washed up on the shore- all battered up and dieing, so i decided to try and save it. I have it in my 20 gal quarentine tank and all its white pulps came out(as in opened up...um...appeared....etc). The top part was falling apart and it looks like a black wire/skeleton.... Anyways i have no idea on how to take care of it. This includes on how and what to feed it. I think it might have been a bad idea because i am such an unexperienced reef keeper.

It depends on what type of Gorgonian it actually is. Most require a high flow to bring food to them, although there are some that are photosynthetic.

Its hard to tell you how to take care of it best if we dont know the specific species.

Oh baby no

aww man. I dont know the specific species. I dont think it is photosynthetic because it was in the dark for like 5 days and is still alive and the polyps seem to catch copepods and eat them.
