Red Finger Gorgonia (Lophogorgia nodulifera)

(Also known as the Red Sea Whip Coral or Red Tree Gorgonian)

Overview

The Red Finger Gorgonia (Lophogorgia nodulifera) is a stunning non-photosynthetic soft coral known for its deep red to orange branches that resemble delicate coral fingers or tree limbs. It adds elegant, flowing movement and vibrant colour to reef aquariums. This species does not contain zooxanthellae, relying entirely on planktonic foods for nourishment. While visually striking, it is challenging to maintain and best suited for experienced reef keepers who can provide frequent feeding and stable, pristine water conditions.

Origin

Native to the Caribbean Sea, Western Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico, where it inhabits deeper reef slopes and shaded ledges. Found in areas with moderate to strong current, which continuously delivers planktonic food to its polyps.

Feeding

As a non-photosynthetic suspension feeder, the Red Finger Gorgonia requires regular direct feeding with small, planktonic foods. In the aquarium, feed 3–5 times per week (daily if possible) with:

  • Live or concentrated phytoplankton
  • Marine snow or liquid coral foods
  • Rotifers and microzooplankton
  • Fine powdered coral foods (e.g. Reef-Roids, Reef Energy AB+)

Target feeding is most effective — gently direct food toward extended polyps using a pipette or turkey baster during low-flow periods. Consistent feeding is essential for long-term survival.

Lighting

Low to moderate lighting. As a non-photosynthetic coral, Lophogorgia nodulifera does not depend on light for energy. Place in shaded areas or regions of indirect light to prevent algae from overgrowing its tissue.

Water Flow

Moderate to strong, indirect flow. The Red Finger Gorgonia thrives in areas with steady current that keeps its polyps extended and prevents detritus buildup. Avoid laminar or blasting flow that may damage the delicate branches.

Placement
  • Place in the mid to lower sections of the aquarium, ideally in a shaded or overhung area.
  • Secure the base firmly into rockwork or substrate to prevent shifting in flow.
  • Ensure surrounding corals do not come into contact with its branches, as irritation or tissue damage may occur.
Tank Mates

Peaceful and reef safe. Compatible with:

  • Small, non-aggressive reef fish (gobies, blennies, firefish, cardinalfish)
  • Invertebrates such as shrimp, crabs, snails, and sea stars
  • Most corals, provided adequate space is given

Avoid:

  • Large angelfish, butterflyfish, or other species known to pick at coral polyps
  • Aggressive LPS or stinging corals (e.g. Euphyllia, Galaxea) nearby
Aggression

Peaceful. Does not sting or attack other corals but can be damaged by nearby aggressive species or encroaching algae. Ensure good water flow and placement spacing.

Experience Level

Advanced. Requires dedicated feeding, stable water quality, and appropriate flow to remain healthy. Ideal for experienced aquarists familiar with maintaining non-photosynthetic (NPS) coral systems or nutrient-managed reef tanks.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–26°C (75–79°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Hardness (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 75 gallons (280L) for stability and feeding consistency

Maintain high water quality, consistent feeding, and strong nutrient export via skimming or refugium.

Reef Compatibility

Reef safe. The Red Finger Gorgonia adds stunning colour and movement to mature reef systems but requires regular feeding and moderate flow to prevent tissue loss. Works well in low-light or NPS reef displays.

Incomplete kit. Missing anchors. LED are white not yellow or amber. Shelf is dented. Had to buy double sided tape for the LEDs to stick. Strips can't hold weight of charging blocks. Not easy to install

I absolutely love the look of this coffee and beverage station. The purple LED lighting creates a modern and inviting atmosphere, while the neatly organized syrup bottles and glassware give it a professional café-style appearance. The variety of flavored syrups offers plenty of options for customized drinks, and the clean white shelving makes everything easy to access and visually appealing. The setup feels both elegant and functional, making it perfect for serving specialty coffees, lattes, and other beverages. The decorative touch on the upper shelf adds personality and style, creating a welcoming space for customers or guests. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a premium coffee experience! ☕✨

Fabulous!
Size: 65.6ft, Size: 65.6ft
I have wanted some strip lights for soo long! I absolutely love these! Great quality! The adhesive is very strong and keeps the lights tight against the wall. Even with bumpy paint there was no issue with it sticking. The colors are fabulous, so many to choose from. Set up is very easy. Pull off the sticky tape and press where you want the lights to go. I have had no trouble with Bluetooth connecting. I run the lights through the app and it connects easily and quickly. There is such a variety of light themes to play with and set moods. This stip can be cut. I made sure to do it right down the middle of the copper lines. I recommend turning the lights off, making the cut, and then turning the lights back on again. What is cut off will not work. I had a bit extra that I cut off and the two ends overlap a little, but it's hardly noticeable if you stare real hard. These lights are so awesome! I highly recommend. Also it is so great to be able to turn up and down the brightness!

So easy a caveman can do it

Installation was easy and not complicated at all. The app lets you decide the mood you want the house in or wherever you choose to install it. I placed it under my island in the kitchen. It is perfection. No remote control. Very durable. Super bright. You can even turn it down a few notches but that's through the app with easy follow instructions.
