BUMP.

Man, I see gorgonians all the time when we snorkel in the Florida Keys and I hardly know the names of any of them.

Good luck.

Looks more like a Yellow brush or yellow sea whip gorgonian to me. I think it’s Pterogorgia citrina

I agree with your genus species on this one

I agree with this genus species.
