Can anyone help me ID this gorgonian/sea whip?

Thanks!
 
Thanks guys. :) It looked a lot plainer at the store under their lighting so I thought it may be photosynthetic. Getting it home and seeing the polyp colour under my lighting makes me realize that's probably a pipe dream (coloured polyps usually indicates non-photosynthetic).

I tried feeding it some Cyclops-eeze and some ReefRoids and it appeared to eat the mixture so hopefully it will be sustainable on that. Time will tell..

Guess nobody has a guess on what species it could be?
 
First of all beautiful gorgonian. I agree with your opinion on it being non-photosynthetic. I'll do some searching for the species though it may take some time. Definately not one seen often in the hobby at the least. Good luck with it.
