No problem. They are rare online I'm guessing because of their size. But, I got a purple plume for now. I will just have to wait till summer when the storms aren't so bad .
Oh and what lights are you using? They look like t5s. Just curious .

Really....traded it for some loose purple mushrooms I had laying around...actually found this trade on craigslist..oh yea it's a 150 wtt mh that needs new bulbs...

you might have better luck getting an id with the soft coral keepers - i can name dozens of non-photo gorgonians, but at almost a total loss when it comes to photosynthetic ones...

 

[jmareef1022]

Ok ill try that..maybe this thread can be moved to that forum first

SeaLifeInc.net has a great selection of gorgonians. I was very happy with what I received.
