 This
species is a NPS gorgonian commonly found growing attached
to hard bottom in depths of 20-40 ft. We only collect the
branching variety which is much nicer than the cylindrical whips
of the same species. The coloration is usually purple but some
specimens are reddish-orange. This
beautiful non-photosynthetic gorgonian features thin
delicate irregular branches with white polyps. NPS animals need to be fed regularly with a
quality coral formula, plankton or prepared food.
Sizes vary between 4-8" mounted on a reef plug.
