Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Pterogorgia anceps are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Pterogorgia anceps, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Pterogorgia anceps, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

Eine eher seltenere Grogonie, die trotz der guten Haltbarkeit wenig in den Handel kommt.

Dabei ist sie, da sie sich durch ihre Zooxhantellen ernährt, gut haltbar.
Braucht allerdings eine recht gute Strömung und einen guten Platz.

Futter: Zooxhantellen, braucht daher nicht zwingend gefüttert werden.
Wird aber, wie jede Gorgonie, auch Futter aufnehmen, wie Staubfuttersorten oder lebende Artemianauplien.
