 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.
Please note: Most
of the specimens currently available are the golden variant with
some purple markings. Purple colored specimens are very rare. This
particular species was hit hard by the past few heat waves in
the Atlantic and has been slow to recover.
