Sea Fan/Gorgonian options?

Pat big ALS has purple frilly gorgoinians I believe they are 50$ they are photosynthetic snd it's the same as mine and mine has done well for close to a year and it's very pretty but slow grower

If you want to try a very small frag for free to test the water i'd gladly cut you one, I find my gorgonians are the first to tell me I need a water change.

I tried the NON Photosynthetic and it was hard to keep it happy while not having nutrients sky high. You need to feed too often, I think.

I have a photosynthetic Gorg now that I simply feed when I feed the other corals Reef Roids and it's very happy and healthy.

Sea Plume Gorgonia (Pseudoterogorgia bippinnata)

Hey Denny, if and when you frag some of these please give me a call I'd sure like to buy some of you to try. Thanks, Lenny.

No pic on their site but reef shoppee does have it for sale:

Try the Corky Finger Gorgonain. I picked up a frag from Greg at Coral Master. Very fast grower and nice looking with very long polyp extension http://coralmaster.com/soft011.html.

i believe its the same as mine and its a purple frilly gorgonian,brown polyps and occasionally it will "wax" over but it comes back even brighter than before.they are def one of the easier ones to care for and ive fragged mine several times. for the longest time ive never seen any around as i didnt buy mine from an lfs and now lately ive seen them at ai and big als.they can get pretty big to in height mine got to about 16" than i had to cut it into two 8" pieces.every now and then i cut a small limb off and scrape off the outer coating and then shove the root in a small hole and ive got little ones growing everywhere
