Photosynthetic Gorgonians pics and suggestions?

organism

code monkey
I'm looking to get a few photosynthetic Gorgonians for my tank and was curious as to what people are keeping and how they look since pictures online don't show too much. If anyone has some can you post up a pic and how you like it? There's so many different kinds that it's hard for me to know where to start.

KP Aquatics is great source... that's where I got most of mine. My pics are potato quality, but gives an idea. I think I have them identified correctly... don't shoot me if I got something switched = )

Wow these are really helpful, thanks for the pics! Out of curiosity do these need any feeding at all, or do they do well on light alone? Really liking the thinner branched ones...
 
Really big one .....
