One type of the gorgonia certainly has brown/tan polyps. I sure hope you are right about them being photosynthetic. That would make things much easier on them. I do have plans for this to be a heavily fed plankton tank, but I know that I'll never sustain corals that need to be target fed.

Somewhere between 150 and 200 lbs. By the time I'm done, there should be lots of free swimming and growth space left.
