Looking for a hardy and visually stunning gorgonian species for your reef tank? Discover the knobby sea rod (Eunicea sp.), a common shallow water gorgonia found in South Florida and the Caribbean. With its beautiful transition from tan brown to deep chocolaty brown when polyps are extended, this gorgonian adds a captivating touch to any aquarium. The large individual polyps and fuzzy appearance when fully expanded make it a true spectacle.

The knobby sea rod thrives with good lighting, thanks to its photosynthetic nature, and requires supplemental feeding with planktonic or small particle food. Watch in awe as the polyps catch and devour the tiny food particles gently dusted upon them. To ensure stability, mount this gorgonian on a rock using reliable quick-setting epoxy putties or gel super glue. Keep in mind its preference for moderate currents and ample light when selecting a suitable spot in your tank. Whether you opt for a single stalk or a branching colony, this species will impress with its growth potential and the possibility of propagation through pruning. Elevate the aesthetics of your reef tank with the remarkable knobby sea rod gorgonian.
