Description
This is a non-photosynthetic species of gorgonian commonly found growing attached to hard bottom in depths of 5-40 ft. They are highly variable in both composition and coloration, but purple is the common coloration. Like most NPS gorgonians they have white polyps. They appreciate strong flow and need to be fed regularly with a quality coral formula, plankton or prepared food. Sizes vary between 6"- 10". All of our gorgonians are mounted on a reef plug. Colors available are somewhat seasonal, with purple being typically available year-round.
