Gorgonian for a novice?

I'm curious if there are any Gorgonian (sea fan) corals that would be appropriate for a semi-experienced novice? I'm keeping LPS and zoas right now with a lot of success but am not sure if a gorgonian would be too advanced? I know there's both NPS and photo-synthetic varieties available, I was planning on the latter. :)

Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I'm simply not talented enough to keep SPS atm and am looking to add something that stands out a bit more in my reef that won't require constant attention (dosing). My tank is a 90 gallon DT with 30 gallon sump w/fuge, I have two 1500gph Hydor Koralia pumps and a WP25, lighting is a 48" Reef Breeder Photon, my current care level is feeding the fish/livestock twice per day and a ~15% water change every 7-10 days as well as cleaning my protein skimmer whenever I do a water change. I am currently running no reactors nor am I running GFO, my tank has been established for just over a year.

Thanks in advance!
 
I have a couple purple sea whips, a pink bush and another cream colored that I do not know the name off. The last one grows straight up with large polyps They are all photosynthetic

Make sure to keep them in some alternating flow. Do not let any algae or cyano get a hold on them.

I got mine at the LFS so I do not know how well they will ship.
