 A
beautiful shallow water photosynthetic gorgonian that features a dark purple
or golden color. This particular gorgonian is often angular
and has 2-3 rows of
polyps that extend down the sides of each blade. This species is
very hardy in the aquarium. Gorgonians regularly
shed tissue to remove buildup of sediment and algae from forming
on their skeleton. We offer single specimens mounted on reef plugs that
are 6-8"
tall.
Most
of the specimens currently available are the golden variant with
some purple markings. This species was hit hard by the bleaching
event last year but are starting to come back slowly but the
purple colors are rare.
