Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ok anyone have Gorgonia coral? If so can you tell me about them and show me pictures?
I have a photosynthetic purple candelabra. It's all closed up right now but the opened picks were from a while back.

Did not now that , thanks Wes !
Alyssa's Seahorse Savvy sells both kinds. That's who I purchased my Klein butterfly fish from. Consequently they send me emails. Otherwise I wouldn't have known either. 😄

Thank you! It's really pretty! Does it move with the flow a little or is it stiff.
 
And these... 😆

I'm thinking for sure a purple one and I really like orange as well then I seen a red one that was really pretty but I'm not sure if it's photosynthetic.
I've been really tempted by some on Alyssa's myself.
