Cool looking gorgonian?

[Bushman]

I have this thing growing outta the top of a rock. I think it's a cool looking Gorgonian, but not really sure. Anyone seen this before?

That is cool. Don't know what it is, but following. Almost looks like a red macroalgae.

With these old eyes, it looks like a macro algae. Does it have any polyps on it?

looks like a type of macro maybe dragon’s breath?

Maybe dragons tongue algae?

I can't see any polyps. It just began as a tiny single sprout about 6 weeks ago.

It is nice looking! I have better luck growing gorgonians in my seahorse tank than the macro algae. I am jealous. I don’t believe you will have any issues with it taking off like some of the algae we deal with. Some fish may eat it, but it adds a nice contrast to the rock and corals.

I hope so. I am colorblind but this thing actually looks nice to me. Kinda weird. I see the oranges a little better than others. Some seems so drab. But this thing I can see well! Constantly asking the wife what color the corals are.
