Hello,
Does anybody know its name?
I have just received it, +/-2Hr ago.

All I know is that it is a non-photo gorgonian.
Thanks.

Beautiful Gorgonian!!

 

[biloulou]

Thanks.
@owlbassboy: It cost me 60€. Here, if you want Something which is out of the ordinary, it is the prices.

 

[owlbassboy]

thats probably cheaper than it would cost over in the uk, i know a few guys that buy stock to sell from french wholesalers.

I will post up proper spelling of species when I get home and have access to my computer. Nice gorgonian by the way.

Awesome sea fan biloulou! I can't say for sure but the genus looks similar to Acalycigorgia to me. I don't know the species....waiting for Mike to chime in here.

Fantastic specimen. Good luck with the care of it.

Belongs to the family of Acanthogorgiidae. Most likely a variation of Acalycigorgia sp. They commonly brought in through wholesalers due to their visual appearance and come in tones of tan, blue, orange & pink. Now, it is a more difficult species of non-photosynthetic gorgonians to keep. Since it is bushy, I would make sure it is kept in a area that receives high current/flow.

Thanks to all.

@ Aquabacs:Thank you very much for those informations. It is what I thought but was not sure. I placed it in the current and I feeds it several times a day. Since its arrival, all the polyps are all out. I shall make everything to take great care of her.
Thanks again.
