Coral ID

[Dave Jay]

We caught this coral on a fishing charter recently in about 200 feet of water. It’s be

en in my tank 48 hours and looks quite happy. I’m Worried the light will be too strong. I have no idea what it is and am wondering if anyone can ID it and advise if corals from such a depth will survive in a reef tank.

It’s very pretty, maybe some type of sinularia?

Looks like a gorgonian to me.

Beautiful, must look amazing in blue light

Yeah it’s a gorgonian. More than likely non photosynthetic so work on getting it to eat.
