This
species of photosynthetic gorgonian is native to the Atlantic
ocean in shallow Florida waters. It features irregularly branched
flattened blades that are narrow and delicate. The coloration
varies on this species but is usually tan-yellow with purple
markings. This
particular species can be placed next to other gorgonians of the
same species in the aquarium if desired. 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 5-8"
tall.
