My purple candelabra gorgonia is the soft tissue kind with many polyps up and down it's stalks for filter feeding. If touched, the polyps go inward. Each stalk is about the width of my pinky finger.
Here's the thing - I can't get it situated in a good spot. I dig it down into the sand bed but it is so tall that it starts tipping in one direction or another by about 1/4 of the way up the gorgonia. It is forever tipping into an anemone or another coral or the glass or whatever and I don't know what else to do.
I was thinking about tying fishing line up it's center stalk and tying it to a rock but am afraid this might damage it's soft body.
Anyone have any ideas?
