This
species of photosynthetic gorgonian is native to both the
Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic in Florida waters. It features tan-yellow blades that are wide and
fleshy with two rows of tan polyps on each blade. The wide blades
are unique in that they have a raised rib on each blade. 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 6-8"
tall.
